Kidd Madonny is no stranger to the entertainment industry. As the driving force behind RKM - the Miami-based design & production company known for its unique, visually enticing creativity - Kidd has spent over a decade immersed in almost every aspect of nightclub production: decor, costume design, performance. His talent has taken him across the globe - from Tokyo to Montreal to Acapulco - landed him in the world's hottest nightclubs & given him the opportunity to work alongside the most sought after DJs in the industry. It also set the stage for what has become one of his greatest passions.
Born with an immense love for music, Kidd was naturally drawn to each DJ's talent. Fascinated by their modern day Pied Piper capabilities, he easily recalls the first time a DJ floored him. "I was dancing (a la RKM) at Arena & Junior Vasquez was spinning. He had a song sitting on a loop for five minutes." The crowd's reaction mirrored his own, an enthusiastic momentum that continued throughout the party. By the end of the night the light bulb had turned on. "I was like, Wow! This is what you can do with mixing!"
Describing his musical style as a blend of vocals, a little bit of "disco house remixes", progressive house, electro & the all-important tribal, says Kidd of his music on any given night: "It always has the drum beats behind it. You're always going to hear something new," he continues. "I think as a DJ you should always educate the crowd." That philosophy, coupled with what Kidd declares the best piece of advice he ever got from a DJ - ("Guido told me, 'Have fun with it. Don't be afraid to experiment.'") - is the foundation upon which he builds each & every time he sets foot in a booth & slides on his headphones. His favorite part of being a DJ is the buildup: getting the crowd on the dance floor, getting them excited, & keeping them there dancing. He includes himself in that grouping as the main person you should always see moving for the simple reason that, "If you don't see me dancing, why would you be?"
