Raised in suburban
Clifton, New Jersey, in a
Puerto Rican family, Fonseca started his career as a fashion model. He enrolled at the
University of Pennsylvania where he studied
business administration. He left his studies to focus on the tribal and house music scene emerging in
New York during the late 1990s. Fonseca has remixed songs by Sia, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Beyoncé, Pet Shop Boys and Blondie. As a DJ, he has headlined parties such as including Matinee, World Pride, The White Party, Alegria, The Week, Rapido, Beyond, G Village and the Circuit Festival. He cites the late
Grammy Award-winning DJ, producer, and remixer
Peter Rauhofer as his mentor. In 2013, Fonseca produced his first original composition, a collaboration with
Blondie titled "Mile High". ==References==
