DJ Emotion, Master of Mixes in NOLA

Share Article

Eric Davilla, known to many as VDJ Emotion, embodies the vibrant sounds of Latin music that pulse through the great city of New Orleans. With Nicaraguan and Ecuadorian roots, his love for music began at home, influenced by his father’s taste in merengue and salsa music and his sister’s love for old-school reggaeton and hip hop. At just ten years old, he discovered music software that ignited his passion for blending sounds and creating his unique mixes.

The purchase of a broken turntable led him to his mentor, Rony “DJ Tropical” Giron, marking a pivotal turn in his journey. Under Rony’s guidance, Eric honed his craft, performing at Mo Chalet, Metairie’s longest-running Latin Night, and gaining recognition for his memorable sets. These sets combine genres like EDM, hip-hop, reggaeton, merengue, and bounce, creating an unforgettable experience for everyone on the dancefloor.

“I play what I want and make people appreciate the music,” says Eric about his passion. He emphasizes his commitment to showcasing the diverse tastes and flavors of Latin music and New Orleans culture.

A memorable moment for him came in 2021 when his mentors, DJ Tropical and DJ Magic, recognized him as a master DJ in front of a bustling crowd. He describes this moment as “the pinnacle of his growth as a DJ.”

Eric aims to leave a lasting mark on the music world, with dreams of attending and participating in the Grammys one day. He also encourages aspiring DJs in any genre to “truly love music,” noting that authenticity leads to success and fulfillment in their careers. You can catch VDJ Emotion spinning at Mo Chalet every Thursday and Sunday, ready to turn the floor into an unforgettable celebration.
