Felix Cutillo (born in 1966 in London, England) is a New York City DJ, Music Curator, A&R Producer, and Music Compiler. Cutillo began his music career as a DJ in 1988 working in a number of Boston nightclubs and locales including stints as resident DJ at the Roxy, Club Joy, Caprice and 33. In 1992 Cutillo opened Boston Beat Records, an independent music store, on Newbury Street, the heart of Boston swank. It was one of the first record stores in the country aimed primarily at DJs. In 2002, he sold Boston Beat and created his own music label called Europa Pop. Under the Europa Pop label, Cutillo launched the Visage series (Visage I and Visage II). Artists included Ive Mendes, Christophe Goze, Swag, Shrift, Reggae Disco Rockers, Yonderboi, Adam Goldstone and others. He then joined clothing retailer Louis of Boston to launch an in-store music bar. Later that year, he compiled the "Music Bar of Louis Boston" CD, which contained artists such as Iva Zannichi, Nancy Holloway, Federico Aubele, Susan Cadagan and others. Felix Cutillo relocated to New York City in 2005 to become Bergdorf Goodman's Music Curator. He then founded Sonodea, a strategic music management consultancy that focuses on custom music solutions for a client list including high-end fashion boutiques, hotels, restaurants, and spas.
