LEANSKEE

Dancer / DJ / BBOY / HOST / EVENT ORGANIZER

The Beat Is My Story. The Turntables Are My Voice.

I’m DJ LEANSKI—a New York-born, Boston-raised Hip Hop pioneer with over 40 years of experience moving crowds, building communities, and honoring the culture.

What started as a way to escape the streets turned into a lifelong mission: spreading joy, unity, and raw energy through music.

From spinning vinyl at local jams in the 80s to rocking stages, clubs, schools, and festivals today—I bring true Hip Hop to every event I touch.

I’m more than a DJ—I’m a storyteller, a curator of vibes, and a cultural ambassador. Every set is personal. Every transition is intentional. Whether it’s an underground cypher or a packed corporate wedding dance floor, I bring the same heart and hustle.
