ROBIN MILLER, BETTER KNOWN AS DJ INFINITE, WAS BORN TO TWO NICARAGUAN PARENTS IN MIAMI, FLORIDA ON JULY 28TH, 1982. HE LIVED A CHILDHOOD WITH MANY STRUGGLES, BUT THESE HARDSHIPS ONLY MADE HIM A STRONGER PERSON INSPIRING HIM TO SUCCEED. THROUGH HIS STRUGGLES, MUSIC WAS ONE OF THE FEW THINGS THAT LIFTED HIM OUT OF HIS MISERY. IN HIGH SCHOOL, HE MADE IT A GOAL TO SHARE HIS JOY WITH OTHERS. HE STARTED OFF BY DJING AT HIGH SCHOOL EVENTS AND FAMILY PARTIES. AS HIS PASSION FOR DJING ESCALATED, HE STARTED TO RESEARCH VARIOUS DJs, ARTISTS AND ASPECTS OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY ON A DAILY BASIS TO LEARN THE TACTICS TO SUCCEED. ONCE HE STARTED COLLEGE AT FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY (FIU), HE INVESTED IN HIS FIRST DJ SET AND BEGAN PRACTICING MORE TO PERFECT HIS SKILLS. HE THEN WAS NOMINATED AS PRESIDENT OF FIU NORTH'S STUDENT PROGRAMING COUNCIL, WHICH IS THE MAIN ORGANIZATION ON CAMPUS, WHICH BOOKS ACTS TO PERFORM ON CAMPUS. THROUGH HIS POSITION, HE WORKED WITH SUCH ARTISTS AS BEENIE MAN, T-VICE, TANTO METRO AND DEVONTE, FLOETRY, PITBULL, AND OTHERS. THIS KNOWLEDGE AND EXPOSURE PUSHED HIM TO PURSUE THE MUSIC INDUSTRY AS HE CLAIMED THE NAME DJ INFINITE. EVER SINCE, HE HAS BEEN TAKING MIAMI BY STORM BY "MASHING UP THE PARTIES WITH THE ISLAND FLAVA."

Q - How did you get started in this business?
A - My cousins and uncles used to DJ back in the day. I was 12 years old inside of nightclubs and parties just passing records to them. I grew up loving music. From then on I tried saving money to start purchasing my own system and that is how it started.

Q - What projects are you currently involved with?
A - Right now I am trying to put together a mix CD with the latest riddims so that people can hear my style and the other members of the Infinite Sound System. Also I got artists that I am working with in regards to the CD, not like a record label thing just trying to get people heard.

Q - What can your fans expect in the upcoming year?
A - As far as Infinite goes we are trying to grow outside of South Florida and at least journey the east coast like ATL, Northern Florida, and try New York to get our name out. We are growing Haitians and Nicaraguans in the dancehall reggae scene.

Q - What is your most memorable moment as a DJ?
A - Meeting Beenie Man in a concert that I helped promote at Florida International University. It was like meeting a cousin that you haven’t met in years.

Q - In your opinion, what makes you stand out from others in your field?
A - Infinite Sounds is a rare grew of selectors none of us are Jamaican, but we share Caribbean influences. We change it up when go on stage. We don’t keep our sound to only dancehall; we play Zouk, Compa, Meringue, and country music just to name a few. We try to be different, or unique.

Q - Is there anything about you people don't know that may surprise them?
A - I am the most boring person in the world! Watching paint dry is more entertaining than hanging out with me.

Q - If you had to describe yourself in 3 words, how would you do it?
A - Never Giving Up

Q - What do you consider your best quality to be?
A - My personality, I like to entertain people and keep spirits high!

Q - What do you do for fun when you are not Djing?
A - Going to parties! Most DJs I know don’t even go to parties but my fun is listening to other DJs and seeing how I can better myself.

Q - What inspires you the most in life?
A - My family and friends; they are the ones that want me to achieve and I do this to make them proud.

Q - What is your favorite food?
A - Italian, there ain’t nothing like Franco’s Pizzeria on 163rd St.

Q - What kind of kid were you growing up?
A - Shy, that should have been my answer to that other question. People don’t believe that I am a real shy person, real reserved.

Q - Growing up, what did you think you'd become?
A - A farmer! I was never sure, my father used to get upset because each time he would ask I would have another answer for him.

Q - What advice would you give someone interested in your field?
A - Don’t give up. A lot of people give up on this business because of the money you have to shell out, but if it makes you happy keep doing it the rewards will pay off. It just amounts to the work that you put in it.

Q - Any Last words:
A - Look out for Infinite Sound System and the website coming soon.
