DJ Tempo / Tempo Music (born Lee Jennings on 18 May 1982) is a British DJ, music producer, and record label owner known for his energetic electronic dance music (EDM) productions. His work spans genres such as trance, techno, and happy hardcore. He has performed across the United Kingdom and internationally, and released music through both commercial and independent labels.
Early life
Jennings was born in Chatham, Kent, and grew up in the Medway towns of southeast England. At 17, he enlisted in the British Army and served as a Combat Medical Technician in the Royal Army Medical Corps. He was later medically discharged after four years of service.
During a long recovery from a serious mountain biking accident in Swansea, Jennings began experimenting with music production using FL Studio (formerly Fruity Loops). He uploaded early remixes to platforms such as mp3.com, gaining an online following.
Career
In 2007, Jennings signed with UK dance label Dance Jam Music. That same year, he released a remix of “Sweet Dreams” and followed up with his debut album, *The Hits*.[1] His productions gained recognition in the UK dance scene and received support from notable DJs such as Lange and Basshunter.
He has since released music independently through his own label, Tempo Music, and continues to perform in clubs and festivals.
Musical style
DJ Tempo's productions feature high BPMs, euphoric melodies, and genre-blending elements from trance, happy hardcore, and mainstream dance music. He is also known for ending performances with his signature phrase, “Max love, Peace Out X.”
Mental health advocacy
DJ Tempo has spoken publicly about his experiences with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and emotional dysregulation, stemming from childhood trauma and military service. He is a vocal advocate for mental health awareness and has established organizations that provide trauma-informed support through music and storytelling.
