DJ Cazel: Founder & Creator of Souldies

RIALTO, Calif. - EntSun -- DJ Cazel, born Ruben Garcia, is a Los Angeles–based DJ, producer, promoter, and music entrepreneur whose career spans more than three decades. Beginning his journey in the early 1990s, DJ Cazel developed a deep appreciation for funk, soul, oldies, and house music—sounds that would later define his signature style.

Raised in La Puente, DJ Cazel turned a lifelong passion into a successful career through dedication, adaptability, and entrepreneurial vision. In addition to DJing, he expanded into music production, concert promotion, and live event creation, launching multiple ventures throughout the years. While some proved successful and others served as learning experiences, each step strengthened his understanding of the music industry.

Together with his wife, Tanya, DJ Cazel envisioned long-term goals that led him to continue producing concerts and shows under DJ Cazel Presents, later founding Industry Music Group, a record label created to support emerging talent and original branding. From this foundation, DJ Cazel created Souldies, a brand and cultural movement celebrating soul-driven music and live experiences.
