Biography
DJ Lil Steve was born and raised on the northside of Houston, TX, and started DJing at a very early age of 13. In 2000, when he started DJing, he began by DJing house/birthday parties for his classmates. While pursuing his DJing journey, he always used to go to the music stores at the malls to purchase new music and records. He eventually picked up a few mixtapes that the store was selling, and they ended up being OG RON C mixtapes. He was amazed and wanted to do the same thing he heard. He ended up selling all his party equipment and bought a new set of decks and studied OG RON C for many years. Eventually, he met up with OG RON C numerous times but was never ready to say he wanted to be a part of his venture. After time went by, he was 17 years old and submitted his first mixtape, which he got pressed up with posters, to OG RON C at an artist CD listening party and waited patiently to finally hear that OG RON C was amazed at the skills he had at such a young age. Later on, by the age of 18, he became OG RON C's protégé and won his first award at the "SEA AWARDS" for "Rookie DJ Of The Year". The rest was magic!
