DJ Lefcut:

Born and raised in Washington Heights, NYC, DJ Lefcut (formerly DJ Ozzie Oz) began his journey into music inspired by legendary radio personalities and DJs of the 80s like Paco on 92KTU, The Latin Rascals, and Kool DJ Red Alert. His passion ignited after watching Beat Street, particularly the iconic DJ Double K, which drove him to save for a year to purchase his first Technics 1200 turntables and a mixer at age 16.

Starting with Freestyle and House music, Lefcut quickly mastered blending, cutting, and editing, drawing influence from pioneers like The Latin Rascals and Chep Nuñez. By the early 90s, he transitioned into Hip Hop, fine-tuning his craft through wordplay, scratching, and studying legends like DJ Premier, Pete Rock, and The X-Ecutioners. His relentless dedication paid off when his mixtapes landed him gigs at iconic NYC venues like The Tunnel, Rebar, and Cheetah, alongside heavyweights like Stretch Armstrong and Max Glazer.

A true student of the art, DJ Lefcut continues to evolve, staying rooted in his passion while embracing new sounds and technology, striving to inspire as he once did in the golden era of the 90s.
