 Hello
and thank you for coming to djlennox.com. This website has
been over 12 years in the making. I have been dj-ing now for
just over 12 years throughout upstate New York and northern
Virginia.
It has been a roller coaster, filled with lots of fun and
adventures. When I first started this business, I was 15 years
old playing a 5 disc changer through some old house speakers. I
got the idea stocking coolers at the Wayside Tavern in Russell
NY and watching the DJ. He would have everyone watching him and
yet he was cool as a cucumber. He played the music all night
long and everyone was loving it. I thought to myself, why can't
I DJ? Why can't I rock out all night long?
So I went home and printed out some business cards. From there I
did some very small gigs at parties and a few jobs at schools. I
saved up from those events and borrowed some money from my dad
and bought a whole DJ system from Northern Music and Video in
Potsdam NY. From there I did s ome
dances at schools all over St. Lawrence County. I even filled in
at the infamous Wayside Tavern from time to time.
In 2001, I graduated from high school and moved to sunny
Virginia. This was how I went from a small time wanna be DJ to
sought after entertainer of the masses. I couldn't get a DJ gig
for a while down there. Everyone was squared away for musical
entertainment. I would keep getting the run around until the
fall of 2003. That's when the sun finally started to shine.
I was playing basketball at the YMCA when a friend
mentioned that he was going to open a bar. He said he had no DJ.
I told him about how I dj-ed in New York and would love to play
at his bar. He gave me a trial run on opening night. We had the
place packed. I mean elbow room only. I played better than I
ever had before that night. I played there ... Fatty J's, for
the next 12 months or so. Toward the end, it was starting to get
old playing 
the same place every weekend, so I switched it up and played
some other spots in Fredericksburg, aka Fred Vegas. From there,
I decided to move back to New York after my apartment was
mysteriously broken into and I lost all of my DJ equipment.
Now I'm back up north where I feel more at home and more
comfortable dj-ing and entertaining than I ever have before. I
put out that vibe at the events I play and it seems to go on for
the whole night. A lot of my business has been repeat customers
or word of mouth. You can only rely on that for so long. Hence,
that's the reason for the website.
I haven't played with a lot of other acts, but here are a
couple: Silent Critics ... a Virginia acoustic band and Northern
Southerners ... a hip hop group from Virginia. |
