ABOUT

In 2005, Rick “Galactik” Wilkinson and Ruben “Swift” Vidal met through a mutual friend, Doug Brown, who was the assistant to music mogul Johnny Wright at the time.

Rick, then based in Orlando working with Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears, after decided to move to New York, where the song-writing industry was booming.

Swift’s love for house started at Club Shelter, where he recalls experiencing the beautiful people and the great sound of soulful house. At the same time he was working with Jay-Z, DJ Green Lantern, Eminem, Busta Rhymes and many other artists with engineering, assisting and marketing.

Doug set up a meeting with Rick and Swift. After meeting, DJN Project was soon created. The infusion of hip hop, r&b, and house seemed like a cool idea.

During 2006 – 2007, Rick and Swift traded song ideas back and forth most of the year while Swift was on tour with Justin Timberlake, Fergie, and RBD.

When Swift returned, DJN Project was able to record all of their music and shoot every video.

DJN Project made their first house album in November 2007 entitled “Everlasting”. At the start, Rick nor Swift knew any DJ’s or ANYBODY in the dance genre.

Swift was in Hip-Hop, and Rick was in Pop/R&B.

January 2008, Swift pitched “Everlasting” to Oscar P from Open Bar Music. Oscar fell in love with the record “Feel For You”.

“Feel For You” was released in March 2008.

Because of the buzz from “Feel For You”, DJN Project was invited to perform the single live at Winter Music Conference 2008.

After WMC 2008, DJN Project was set to roll with collaborations locked down with Kenny Bobien, Arnold Jarvis, and Louie Vega.

DJN Project has alot in store for dance music. We’re introducing a new genre of house called HIP HOUSE with the help of Busta Rhymes, Paul Wall, Juelz Santana, Freeway, Joell Ortiz, Nas, and others. This will take dance to a new plateau, where kids can enjoy life music without drama.

This is DJN Project.
