BIO: DJ LS ONE has steadily been rocking crowds since the tender age of 8 years old. From outdoor jams in the parks in Brooklyn, NY to elite clubs and major concerts, from wedding receptions with his father (who was also a DJ) to exclusive private and industry parties. DJ LS ONE has definitely established himself as one of the industry's most talented and energetic masters of the turntables.
In 1989, he met the legendary DJ Mr. Cee (Big Daddy Kane's DJ) from New York's radio station HOT 97, who noticed a raw and undeveloped talent in this young teen. DJ Mr. Cee took him under his wing…and there it began. LS took the hip-hop game by storm. Mr. Cee had him on 91.5 WNYC, doing one of the hottest hip-hop shows in NY at the time. Also filling in on Hot 97 for him. From there he went on to do the HANK LOVE and DNA radio show on 105.9 WNWK, spinning alongside DJ REG-REG. Later he went on to REG'S own show on the same station. During his time there, he interviewed the rap trio ONYX. Recognizing his talent and professionalism, the group invited LS to meet Jam Master Jay & audition for the job as Onyx’s DJ. Many other dj’s also tried out for the spot but LS One’s outstanding talent clearly showed that he would be the better choice. After seeing LS’ skills, control & professionalism on the stage, Jam Master Jay & Sticky Fingaz asked LS to become Onyx’s DJ, which he graciously accepted, and thus began his ride into the DEF JAM family.
In 1996, ONYX broke up as a trio. That break-up lead LS back to spinning at clubs and on the radio. One year prior, LS met DMX, another artist on the DEF JAM label. DMX and the RUFF RYDERS recognized LS' skills while he DJ’d for ONYX, and asked him to be a member of their team. It was at that point DJ LS ONE became the official DJ for DMX and a member of the RUFF RYDERS family. Life on the road continued. In March 1998, LS went on the HARD KNOCK LIFE TOUR. Then the CASH MONEY/RUFFRYDERS TOUR in 1999, the ANGER MANAGEMENT TOUR in the year 2000, as well as numerous spot dates and tours throughout the US, Europe, Japan and the Caribbean. He has also worked with other artists such as: SCOOB & SCRAP LOVER, RED HOT LOVER TONE (Trackmasters), ILL & AL SCRATCH, EVE (Ruff Ryders), DRAG-ON (Ruff Ryders), THE LOX (Ruff Ryders), Q-TIP (A Tribe Called Quest), G-DEP (Bad Boy), GURU (Gangstarr), Busta Rhymes, Redman & Method Man, Raekwon (Wu-Tang Clan), Jadakiss (D-Block) and many more…
Every summer since 2002, LS has DJ’d for NSYNC’s Charity For The Children Fund Raiser in various cities. On September 9th 2004, LS DJ’d for the wedding of N’SYNC member Joey Fatone. Prior to that on December 26th of 2003, he even spun for the wedding of the one & only NBA future Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal. During spring break every year LS spins in Cancun & Acapulco, Mexico with Student City & Paul Himmelfarb. In the summer LS also spins for Alonzo Mourning’s celebrity weekend, “ZO’s Summer Groove” in Miami, Florida.
DJ LS ONE has also made his mark on the party scene. After taking the advice of his friend & mentor, The World Famous Kid Capri, LS decided to also do parties.
