LA Williams is a name long referred to as a hugely respected founding figure from the pioneering Chicago house music scene. He is responsible for influential release on labels including, Virgin Records, Dance Factory, Trax Records, Nepenta, and his own label Chisel Records. LA Williams was an early member of distinguished acid house group ‘Phuture’ with DJ Pierre, Spanky and Herb Jackson. Huge, long-standing success has followed his name with releases including ‘LA’s Magic’, ‘Lights Down Low’, ‘The Jedi Knight’ EP and ‘Giant Galaxy 10’ EP.

It all started for L.A. being exposed to his father’s record collection from an early age. As a former DJ himself, L.A’s father had a deep understanding of music, his record collection reflected that. His father’s legendary Chicago Motown and Soul ‘25 Cent Backyard Parties’ turned L.A. onto an eclectic diet of jazz, blues and soul through to pop, rock and disco. With this as a precursor, L.A. started his own DJ career at the age of fifteen, DJing at local parties and further afield. Soon afterwards L.A. discovered music production which would cement his name into house music history.
