We had the good fortune of connecting with Pedro Torres and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Pedro, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
In 2003 overtime was limited at work and after trying other security details I considered returning to djing for extra income.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
We are a family owned and operated company that has enjoyed making memories of our own while providing the music that you enjoy. Grooveline Entertainers was originally fromed in 2003 with my daughter Simone , and later joined by daughter Siara and son Michael. We provide a Full Line of Dj /Mc services, as well as Live vocals and percussion. Our brand of entertainment allows our customer to get the best of what they enjoy and the opportunity to have thier guest be involved in the entertainment.
Grooveline Entertainers Ltd had been seen regularly at Cinque Terre in Huntington Station and are currently at The Cuban in Patchogue. As the House entertainment for Cinque Terre Ristorante we provided top notch entertainment at a reasonable price.

We started this company with small aspirations so that we could share the music we love with all of you. Now twenty-one years later we surpassed even our wildest hopes, thanks to all of you. Simone has graduated from Berklee College of music, and was a TOP Finalist in Season 3 of The X-Factor. Today she continues to follow her passion as a Vocal Engineer. Most recently, Simone Torres, his eldest daughter, was just recognized in November of 2023 as a Leading Lady in Entertainment by the Latin Grammy Recording Committee in Spain, and returning to her true love, singing and releasing original music.

Our Family Affair continues with the addition of my yongest daughter Siara to the Buisness. In 2012 my youngest daughter graced us with her talents. Not only is she also an accomplished vocalist, but her carisma and passion for music simply electrifies any room. Siara has been also graduated from Berklee College of music and will continue to perform with us when her schedule allows.

Our Family Affair continued with the addition of my son Michael, in the Summer of 2017, who is currently a 1st Lieutenant deployed with the United States Army.

Although 2020 had started with an intent of keeping us apart , staying positive and working through the down time has allowed me to Strengthen the Grooveline Team….I am proud to announce the addition of my yonger brother Ricardo “Congas”…. Bringing his endless energy and mastery of his art to our perfomanceses…. Ricardo has been an accomplished percussionist for quite sometime and he has worked with us on many special occasions over the years . A guarentee to bring any occasion to the next level …

Private Parties, Corporate Events, and Weddings……… Nothing we can’t help you design.

Professional, Courteous, Reliable and above all AFFORDABLE………

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would plan a week that would include NYC and Long island. The tour will include Mamazul NYC, The Copa NYC, and wherever the Zafire Dance company is performing. Ultimately, ending the tour with dinner and a show at Wilily’s The Cuban Patchogue with the talented collaboration of Grooveling Entertainers, Dj Chopps and the spectacular Rumbamena.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My wife and children were instrumental in motivating and supporting me through the years and together we have experienced many amazing blessings along the way.
