EJ Franco, better known as DJ EL Grande, was born in SF General hospital in 1984. Being raised two blocks away from where DJ Q-Bert also grew up, he quickly grew as a product of his environment. Beautiful noises coming out of the garage sparked his curiosity to scratching records at an early age. Now residing and working in Seattle, he has become a global community contributor for over 20+ years working between inner city youth programs and non-profit work, to producing classic records and headlining big stages.
