Aaron Vasquez (born July 15, 2005) is a music enthusiast, photographer, programmer, and founder of TrapRadioHD.

Aaron was born in Modesto, California at Doctors Medical Center Emergency Room. He spent the majority of his upbringing in the same town. Both of his parents pursued higher education, with his mother serving as a detective and his father as a navy officer.

Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, at the age of fifteen, Aaron had already been an avid listener of EDM music for two years, drawing inspiration from well-known channels like Trap Nation, Trap City, Monstercat, and Tastynetwork. In November 2020, he initiated his own YouTube channel, named TrapRadioHD, dedicated to promoting music from emerging artists found on SoundCloud. Expanding its presence, Aaron integrated TrapRadioHD into Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok within three months. However, a misstep occurred in May 2021 when the YouTube channel was mistakenly linked to an incorrect email address. Despite this setback, Aaron eventually reinstated the channel in July 2021, encountering challenges along the way but persevering. Presently, the channel remains active, with the first upload being DMILL$ - ...Reborn. Aaron continues his commitment to grow the channel and support aspiring artists across multiple social media platforms.

Aaron's photography journey commenced serendipitously when he accidentally enrolled in a high school elective, which turned out to be a photography class. Quickly developing a fondness for the subject, he proclaimed it as his favorite. He immersed himself in studying various aspects, mastering Adobe Photoshop, and grasping camera mechanics. In his initial year, he gained experience with a simple point-and-shoot camera provided for the class. As a junior, Aaron took the initiative to learn independently, delving into topics like RAW photography, focal length, lenses, and camera equipment. During this time, he honed his editing skills using Adobe's Camera Raw Filter and Lightroom. In his third year, he made a worthwhile investment in the Canon EOS M50, an affordable camera, which elevated the quality of his work. Advancing to the advanced photography class in his fourth year of high school, Aaron utilized his Canon EOS M50 to complete assignments both on campus and around town, garnering a reputation for delivering impressive work. Concurrently, he decided to showcase his photography on social media platforms, initially on Facebook and Instagram, and later expanded to include photo websites like Unsplash and Flickr, and etc. Although photography remains a hobby for Aaron, he continues to derive immense joy from exploring and experimenting with various approaches to capture captivating images.
