During his dancing career, Lean Rock developed another passion within the Hip Hop culture; DJ-ing. As a dancer he was always infatuated with the music and it was part of his everyday life. He was passionate about exploring new music. At an early age, his father would take him to record shops all around Boston to go searching for music, which helped him build an extensive knowledge of music at an early age. His earliest inspirations were DJs such as DJ Leacy, DJ Ninja B, DJ Kon, as well as his dad. His father would teach him the basics of mixing and “cutting up”. Lean Rock followed the path of the traditional hip-hop format, using the “Bronx Style” approach of djing. One of the things that have contributed to Lean’s great success as a DJ, is that he b-boys at a high level and is among the best in the world. He really understands what a dancer is looking for from a DJ-ing perspective. He is one of few to follow in this tradition of legendary b-boys-turned-DJ, such as Jazzy Jay, Grand Wizzard Theodore and Grand Mixer DXT. Lean Rock is carrying the torch and doing his part to preserve the b-boy, as well as the DJ elements of Hip-Hop culture. He is also the co-founder of the DJ group called Horsepower, along with DJ Timber. Horsepower has taken the worldwide b-boy community by storm and has headlined at nearly every major b-boy event globally from Red Bull Bc One, Battle of the Year, R16, UK B-boy Champs, IBE, Freestyle Session and Outbreak. His music taste is known for its funky, raw, aggressive, and high-energy edge. Over time Lean Rock has expanded his music selection, and is continually growing as a DJ who can do it all. His selection and dedicated work ethic has led him to gigs in Holland, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, Slovakia, Canada, Mexico, Germany, France, Taiwan, England, and other countries across the globe, making him one of the youngest DJs to ever spin at any such events. His passion for music has allowed him to be one of the most sought-after break DJs and has inspired masses of people around the world in the hip-hop community.
