DJ L (Lavell) is a San Diego-based open-format DJ with 17+ years behind the decks, known for blending hip-hop, R&B, throwbacks, reggae, funk, soul, house, and party classics into high-energy sets that keep a crowd locked in from first song to last call. He’s the resident DJ for The Rewind, a 1st & 3rd Saturday night that’s become a fixture in San Diego’s nightlife scene, plus a monthly residency at Blind Spot. His sound has also carried Motown On Monday, a worldwide syndicated night, across both its San Diego (Bar Pink) and Los Angeles (The Short Stop) chapters proof his style translates beyond one city or one crowd. Performance credits include The Casbah, Observatory North Park, Seven Grand, Coin-Op, The Waterfront Bar, and Westcoast Tavern, alongside large-scale bookings like San Diego Comic-Con’s Soundsation Music & Arts Festival, North Park Music Festival, Big Night San Diego NYE, and the San Diego Sports Arena tailgate party circuit. He’s also brought his sets north to Xhale in South Lake Tahoe, and regularly plays private, corporate, and 21+ cannabis-industry events across Southern California. Clients consistently point to the same thing: he doesn’t just play music, he runs the room. One client had him quietly hold an engagement ring through an entire wedding reception and cue the perfect song for the surprise proposal — “flawless coordination,” in her words. Another hired him for a friend’s 40th birthday and said guests “could not stop talking about how good the music was. Whether it’s a packed nightclub floor, a corporate brand activation, or an intimate backyard wedding, DJ L brings the same standard: professional, reliable, and locked into whatever the room needs. Based in San Diego. Open to travel
