CÉSAR COSÍO Mexico… his homeland… his cultural identity. Jalisco… land of agave and tequila… his place of birth. Guadalajara… his home… his city… cradle of charros, folklore, and mariachi. He is César Cosío… mobile DJ from Mexico to the world. Music is the passion and the motor that propels his career. Through his veins flows the rythm and through his mind the creativity. Fun is his name and perfection his goal. 28 years of providing the best environment to more than five thousand unforgettable events.

César –without second thoughts- begins in 1978 at age 14, organizing his sister’s party at his own garage, surprising everyone with his natural and innovative style of playing music, developing an innate sense to provide fun to house parties. By the early eighties, he funds his firs company, Organización Zeppelin, with 2 Hi-Fi modules. His charm and popularity won him a wider market, organizing Concert-Parties with three simultaneous dancing floors, and up to seven different dancing stages.

His recognition as a DJ was rapidly heard throughout the country, relating him with world-wide famous event designers, such as Andrés Yanome and Colin Cowie. In 1998, the renowned publicist Bob Popyk highlights the originality of his presentation card in his book, ‘‘Increase Your Mobile DJ Business’ by 30%... In 1999, he is recognized by the Canadian Disc Jockeys Association and, in the same year, the prestigious magazine Mobile Beat dedicates a special, 3-pages report to him.

Also, he has made clear to be a dear and respected international figure as a member of prestigious DJ’s organizations, such as, “M.E.G.A.” (Mobile Entertainers Guild of America) as Vice-president and organizer of the 2000 Guadalajara Convention. Now-a-days, his productions range from invitation designs, interior decorations, dancing floors, architectonic illumination, and special effects, to musical concept creations, and have attracted such attention that he has been hired to ease international celebrity’s parties. He sponsors with his services more than 35 charity associations per year.

His full time operation offers jobs for 50 families and may through up to 18 parties in one weekend. This is why Zeppelin is the leading company in mobile entertainment in Mexico succeeding in turning simple parties into colossal celebrations of up to 28,000 people. The life of the big always begin with a dream… and in his case it was the taste his parents gave him for music, which today is not only his job, but a passionate way of life.
