Performer BIOS
Dos Four is a blend of Caribbean and Afro-Latin rhythms like Salsa, Cumbia, Salsa Choque, Latino House, plus. Lead singer and songwriter Leyder Chapman was born in Holguín, Eastern Cuba and raised in Havana. Chapman’s talent for performing started at a young age and he wrote his first song, “Yo Te Amo Verdad,” at the age of fourteen. After arriving in Oakland, he founded SAOCO, a band specializing in the fusion of Cuban rhythms with popular Reggaeton. It was at this time that Chapman’s name as a musical artist, Dos Four, was formed. Along with several successful collaborations over the years, Dos Four has been growing strong ever since.
DJ Fasho aka Craig Vick was born and raised in Oakland, California. His love for music came at a young age, listening to his mom’s jukebox and turntable in the 70s and 80s. DJ Fasho was drawn to DJing because of how music brings all types of people together.
