My conversation with Noel “DJ Speedy” Mercado!
Noel "Speedy" Mercado is a legend in the Latin music scene. For almost 40 years you’ve been hearing his signature “WEPAAAAA!” Based in NYC, his impressive resume includes radio personality, DJ, promoter, sports announcer, interviewer, producer, event host, podcaster, and more!
Speedy and I chatted about a lot of different things, including career highlights, freestyle music, Puerto Rico, and the importance of family and friends. He tells some interesting stories and shares words of wisdom.
Hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed getting to know him. WEPA!!!
