About Me
DJ Lena is a native Detroiter who continues the musical legacy of her father, who made a career teaching music and as a tenor soloist. She spent her early years playing in bands and singing in choirs, playing all of the woodwind and brass instruments, and she studied a Performing Arts Curriculum at Cass Technical High School. With this solid background and her own musical skills, DJ Lena translates her love of soulful harmonies and fierce beats to the house music and club scene. She loves nothing more than inspiring a room of people to dance!
