Luis Ferdinand Vega Jr. (born June 12, 1965), better known as "Little Louie" Vega, is an American musician of Puerto Rican ancestry. He is one half of the Masters At Work musical production team. He was born to a musician family, as his father, Luis F. Vega Sr., was a jazz saxophonist, and his uncle was singer Héctor Lavoe of the Fania All-Stars. Vega embarked on his music career as a disc jockey, spinning records at the age of 13.
By 1985, Louie began playing house and block parties in his local Bronx and his first nightclub residency was at the Devil's Nest, in the Bronx, and later he moved to hearthrob (the old Funhouse), Roseland, Studio 54 and the Palladium in Manhattan. During the 1990s, Vega was playing at one of the most influential nightclubs for house music, The Sound Factory Bar at the Underground Network Parties with promoters Don Welch & Barbara Tucker (also singer). During this time production team Masters At Work began a remixing team which consisted of young producers "Little Louie" Vega & partner Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez. By 1993 in just a few years, Masters At Work established themselves as one of the top remixers in the world.
Louie Vega is presently married to vocalist Ana Martins, also known as Anané Vega.
