On Tuesday, news of Rodriguez’s death continued to spread among electronic dance music fans and artists, with many taking to Facebook and blogs to mourn the loss.
Rodriguez broke out in 2009 with the hit Stickin’ when he was 17. His music made it onto the video game Grand Theft Auto and MTV’s The Real World.
“He was pretty much unknown before Stickin’ and that changed everything,” Martinee said. “It was a chart topper. From there he just kept going up and up, but he always stayed so humble. He was just the coolest guy in the world.”
Rodriguez recorded for Los Angeles music label Dim Mak and had released a new collaboration single called Shake about two weeks ago, under the alias Tony Colorado. He briefly moved to Denver last year to work on new music but had recently returned to South Florida.
His manager, Ben Puig, spoke with him on the phone for the final time on Friday.
“Music was his biggest passion and he wanted to make sure that it became his lifetime job,” Puig said. “We detailed out a future release and how we were going to push it.
