DJ Lenell Stevens (Official DJspace )

Born and raised on the south side of Chicago, I grew up listening to Disco, Gospel, R&B, Jazz, Soul, and House music. I started Spinning wax and making trax when I was a freshman (1986) at Chicago Vocational High School (CVS). I was heavily influenced by the likes of Ron Hardy, Farley Jack Master Funk, Glenn Underground, and Lil Louis. I grew up going to church and gave my heart to Jesus and was baptized at the age of 7. Although I strayed away from the church during my high school years, I re-dedicated my life to Jesus at the age of 19. Being influenced by the Holy Spirit and having a love for Gospel Music and House music, I decided to make and spinn, at the time (1992) what was known as a new form of music called Gospel House. Back then I played at various underground events and church functions around the Chicago Area. In 1995 I co-produced the "L.T.G. Project" on the DJAX label with Glenn Underground and Tim Harper(Robot, Evil Grin, and Curly Warp94). In 1997 I started working at Crawford Broadcasting (WYCA) in the Hammond Indiana/Chicago area as a board operator and was later promoted to Program Producer on WYBA Power 106.3 fm. I produced "The Inspirational Power Jam" with Farley Jack Master Funk and Edward Get Down Crosby. This programme revolutionised the way Gospel music was to be played in radio! Today I am an ordained Minister, the Music Director at ZKING Radio 100.9fm and news anchor at ZVCR 106.9fm in the Beautiful British Virgin Islands.
