DJ Lenza is one of the East Coast's best up and coming DJs following in the steps of New England's own DJ Kool V and DJ Jon. Spinning both cds and vinyl, he gets special attention for his seamless, artistic and creative transitional style. First experimenting with the decks in summer of 2001, all the hard work and dedication paid off when he got his first but shortlived gig in winter of 2002 at The Tunnel Nightclub in Lewiston, ME. Just one year later, he got the chance to showcase his skills at Club Oasis in Portland which landed him a long residency. In 2004, he was nominated for Portland's Best DJ by The Portland Phoenix. In the year of 2007 Lenza held down a weekly residency at one of the hottest nightspots in Portland, Maine, Threeways Night Club. Spinning every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night. In early 2008 Threeways became no more, opening the door for an Oasis revival. True to form Lenza reclaimed his spot in the Oasis DJ booth. This time bringing a mix of 80s, 90s dance, electronica and hiphop. Lenza reinvented his style to keep up with the changing demands of the local crowd, never failing to please the masses! Lenza's wide range of musical influences include DJ AM, DJ A-Trak, DJ Q-Bert, and Mix Master Mike from the Beastie Boys. He also has a solid passion for playing house and trance music with inspiration from DJ Tiesto, Bad Boy Bill, Richard Humpty Vision and DJ Irene. Now and in the future, Lenza's ambition, talent and drive firmly lies in the music and the pure enjoyment of uniquely sharing it as a DJ. Simply put...Stay tuned.
