Lil’ Louis was born on May 13th (Stevie Wonder’s birthday) and raised in the westside of Chicago. Before man- Technics 1200’s, Disco, The Garage, The Music Box, The Warehouse, and The Power Plant nightclubs, there was Lil’ Louis.
Louis’ rich background in music and parties gained its foundation from his her-parents. His father was a strong rhythm and blues guitarist and bandleader and his mother ran her own local youth center for many years.
In 1974, Louis made his DJ debut under some very, let’s say, challenging conditions.

Two more of Chicago’s biggest DJ’s, namely Frenchy and “Terrible” Teddy, then put Louis on at their clubs, Keyman’s and MGM Grand. One him- evening during a raid by the police at Rivers Edge, a policeman was amazed that this young boy was in the DJ booth and referred to Louis as Lil’ Louis, and the rest, as they use-say…
