LIL' LOUIS

Lil Louis, often called the Founding Father of House Music, is a legendary DJ, producer, and visionary from Chicago. His iconic track “French Kiss” changed the face of dance music forever, selling over 6 million copies and becoming a global anthem. From launching the first rave to directing films and writing books, his impact extends far beyond the decks. He also released two influential albums with Sony and Polygram, collaborated with artists like Jay-Z and Donna Summer, and directed The House That Chicago Built — the first film chronicling the true origins of house music.
