Jaime Herrera (aka K-MEL), was born in the Tiger Anzoátegui State (Venezuela), on the 20th December 1983. He has been living in this eastern city first 4 years of his life, and then he moved to Ojeda city / Zulia State, location where he lives in present.
Since very young always felt attracted by the world of music and at the age of 13 he took his first steps through the rock, playing instruments like guitar and bass, but nothing concrete ever official.
2006 was the year of transition for him, as he dedicated himself to learn and fully understand everything about electronic music, starting this way his career in the turntables world at the beginning of 2007.
Practicing a lot with his first display, quickly learned later to play the new sounds that were popular on the dance floor, such as house, trance & electro, this being the start of his career as Dj.
During the same year he decided to change his musical influences keeping the idea of creating an underground movement, playing percussion-dominated subjects, subtle changes of rhythms and experimental sounds like techno and minimal techno. This idea was made in cooperation with one of his friends Dj Systhem who also resides in the same city. Both together gave birth to a group UVG (Ultra Violet Group) in the same year. And then a new member, Antonio Trotta, joined the group. He is one of the main promoters of minimal in the East Coast of the lake, making it the UVG pioneer in the underground electronic movement of Ojeda city (Venezuela).

Jaime Herrera made a remix that was edited as 2000 Watt (K-MEL re-edit). In spite of not being a remix of the track, because he hadn't the tools, won and reached the hearts of european and american public this being a big step in his career.
