LEE

Lee’s DJ career started in his hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Influenced by the eclectic & funky music that became known as the “Minneapolis sound” (Prince, Shelia E, The Time), Lee began looking for a way to express his own musical creativity and found his way to a pair of turntables and Microphone.

In the Midwest, Lee was hired as the Director of Entertainment for America Live- a 60,000 square foot multi entertainment complex featuring 5 different nightclub concepts under 1 roof. Here he spent the next several years travelling the Midwest opening new properties, training DJs/MCs and managing the entertainment format for all 5 concepts.

During this time, he learned the important skill set of reading a crowd’s body language and adapting the music and performance set to keep people happy and fully engaged.

DJ Lee hit the Los Angeles scene in the mid-2000s and quickly became one of the town’s most in-demand talents for nightclubs and all types of special events. He’s held many weekly residences and Hollywood’s top venues, was the official DJ for Mercedes-Benz LA Fashion Week and was also featured in several Las Vegas DJ showcases. Additionally, he is frequently booked to perform for some of LA’s most elite clientele and parties such as the Oscars, Emmys, Jerry Bruckheimer, Jeffery Katzenberg, Don Michener, Seal, Jim Carry, Heidi Klum, American Idol, DreamWorks, Sony, Disney, NBC Universal, Saks Fifth Ave and many more…

Lee has and the honor of opening for:
One Republic

The Red Hot Chili Peppers

John Mayer & David Chapelle

Kevin Nealon & Pete Holmes

His ability to read a crowd and adjust the music programming accordingly is second to none and always ensures that the vibe and energy in the room are on point with perfect focus & precision.

With an Improv & radio background, he can host any wedding or corporate event in a way that is engaging and commands the attention of a room but without being cheesy or obnoxious. Additionally, Lee is booked frequently to provide VOG (voice of god) announcements & custom walk-up music for award shows & fundraisers.
