Sergio “Latin Prince” Jimenez
is a truly international DJ and musical influencer with a background that reflects this through his experiences with record labels, radio stations and music promotions. His love of music began at a young age with exposure to a diverse array of genres. Latin Prince transitioned from focusing solely on DJing to also working behind the scenes in the music industry when an internship at 106 KMEL turned into him joining the station’s All Star DJ’s on air segment.
He continued his upward momentum with a series of high profile positions including a turn as associate producer at popular music trade publication HITS Magazine. He went on to become the Director of Rap Promotions at MCA Records (working with notable artists like Mary J Blige, Common and The Roots) and headed promotional campaigns at TVT Records where he helped to boost the careers of current industry stars including Lil Jon and Pitbull. Latin Prince also held the title of National Director of Mix Show West Coast for Universal Records/Motown Records Los Angeles. But, he isn’t just a part of the music industry establishment; he creates his own lane as well. After stepping away from the record labels he launched his own marketing and promotions company, Urban Jungle Music, where he continues to organize campaigns for new and established artists from major and independent labels. At the moment he works side by side with the artist Pitbull as head of his radio team.
In 2013 Latin Prince joined popular record pool DJ City as the Regional Director, East where he oversees the growth and development of their subscribers and manages artist relations with record labels. With his relocation to New York two years later, he turned his attention to a longstanding passion – music production. In addition to remixing audio and music videos from popular artists like Flo Rida, Akon, Diplo and David Guetta, Latin Prince also released the original song “Burn It Up” featuring the EDM group Nuthin’ Under A Million.
When he’s not in the studio, Latin Prince regularly tours across the US and abroad – often appearing at high profile events in diverse locales such as Nicaragua, Brazil, UK, Dubai, India, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, Finland, Croatia, Macedonia and Germany to name a few. Most notably, he helped fans welcome in 2017 when he performed at Pitbull’s Revolution New Years Eve Concert in Miami. Latin Prince continues to maintain his role as an influencer in the US music scene and is a regular contributing DJ to Pitbull’s Globalization weekly radio show on Channel 13 on SiriusXM.
With a background as impressive as Latin Prince’s it easy to assume he would be content to sit back on his success. But this long time DJ and industry insider is still focused on pushing forward to new opportunities and challenges. Given his track record to date, the question isn’t can Latin Prince do it, but what will he do next!
Hello, I am Norman Anub, the Owner/Operator of award-winning Ultimate Sounds. For over 30 years now, Ultimate Sounds has provided exceptional DJ/MC entertainment in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. A passion for entertaining, skills in the art of beat mixing, reliability, and excellent customer service are just a few factors that sets myself apart from the average DJ. I believe in the quality of events, not quantity of events. Which means working fewer events to give you more attention and personalized service.
My valued client's happiness is a driving factor to continually grow and improve on my craft. Education & training are keys for success in the crowded DJ business so attending DJ-industry conventions, partaking in occasional training workshops, and networking in associations with event professionals are essential. In addition to being a 12 year member of the Bay Area chapter of ADJA (American Disc Jockey Association), I'm an active Board Member. Simply put, I LOVE what I do! Although weddings are my specialty, FUN private celebrations and corporate events are also graciously welcomed. And when time permits, I'm an environment-exploring, sports-lovin', Taco junkie.

All your slow jam requests & love dedications are just a phone call or e-mail away. Let The X-man take care of you. He is truly one of the nicest and most sincere, down to earth people you will ever know. You can feel it just by listening to his show. He was born in Fort Ord, California and grew up in Salinas where he learned radio at KHDC 90.9 FM “community radio” until heading off to college at San Jose State University. During this time, he worked at Hot 97 in San Jose as well as 102.5 KDON in Salinas. His studies at SJSU earned him a Bachelor of Science degree in Public Relations.After college, he launched his career at WiLD 94.9 in San Francisco as the host of Turn Off The Lights and Xavier The X-Man’s Sunday Night Oldies Show. After being number one for several years Xavier landed a job in Los Angeles at Mega 100 “LA’s Jammin’ Oldies”. A two-year run there landed him a new time slot and Assistant Program Director gig in San Diego at Magic 92.5 “San Diego’s Old School”.
Today, Xavier likes to dance a lot! Put on some music, Old School, Salsa, Cumbias, Rancheras, Tex-Mex, Swing, it doesn’t matter, the guy can move! But just don’t ask him to enter a dance contest-because he hasn’t had the guts to yet.
Xavier has also recently taken up golfing. He’s got the muscle to drive a ball 250 yards, but says it’s not about strength. It’s about hitting the ball straight. His goal with this sport is to play every golf course in California . And here’s something else “The X-man” can’t turn down: a golf challenge. Try it. He’ll probably meet you the next day.
The X-man also has a big time love for Lowriders and the lowrider lifestyle. His love affair for Lowriders started at an early age of seven when his neighbor asked him to help him wash his Chevy Bomb–he was hooked! He has one of his own called “X-Stilo Firme 63”, a 1963 Chevy Impala Super Sport he’s fixing back to the original luster. Be on the look out for it at the next car show or on the streets-he’s always cruisin’.
On the more serious side of Xavier, you’ll find his intense love of the community, with a special passion for giving to children’s causes. You can find him at community events big or small helping make a positive change in the neighborhood, from being the MC or just showing up to support the events or announcing them on his radio shows. He even has his own educational motivational program about the importance of going to college…incredible that the guy is not running for a political office!
