Born in Havana, Cuba, and now making waves in the UK, William Hernandez, known as DJ R-NANDEZ, brings an electrifying fusion of Latin rhythms and electronic beats to the dancefloor. Growing up surrounded by the rich sounds of Cuban Salsa, Danzón, Cha-Cha-Cha, Afro-Cuban percussion, and reggae, he was deeply inspired by legends like Buena Vista Social Club and Michael Jackson. This diverse musical upbringing laid the foundation for his signature style—an infectious blend of Disco House, Funky House, Nu Disco, Deep House, Melodic Techno, Organic House, Afro House, and Soulful House.
His DJ journey began in Havana’s club scene in 2002, experimenting with cassette tapes before transitioning to professional decks in the UK. Since then, he has built an impressive career, performing at some of the most iconic venues across London and beyond. From legendary spots like Ministry of Sound and Cyberdog Camden to high-energy sets at Made in Brazil and Hotel Holborn NYX, DJ R-NANDEZ has mastered the art of reading the crowd and delivering unforgettable musical experiences. His sound has also become a staple in Bournemouth’s nightlife, where he has held residencies and played at hotspots such as Bar So, Nala Bar, Canvas Bar & Restaurant, Aruba, and West Beach Bar & Restaurant.
Beyond the decks, DJ R-NANDEZ is carving his path as a producer, collaborating with Afronaut Records and Solaris Records to craft original tracks that reflect his signature fusion of Latin and electronic sounds. With an unwavering passion for music and an ambition to take his sound global, he continues to push boundaries, bringing vibrant energy to every set.
Whether he’s igniting a club night or setting the perfect sunset vibe, DJ R-NANDEZ transforms every space into a musical journey—seamlessly blending cultures, rhythms, and dancefloor anthems.
