Yusef aka Lil D, was known as the kid who threw basement parties after school in St.Albans Queens NY. Word would soon travel and he would land djing gigs at local neighborhood after hour clubs along with his Brother & Partner Ron Lowe. Yusef would be influenced by such djs as Shep Pettibone, Frankie Crocker of the infamous WBLS, DJ Red Alert, Timmy Regisford, Marley Marl, Tony Humphries and many others. He would frequent such legendary venues as the renowned Paradise Garage, The Loft, Better Days, Studio 54, Palladium & so many more. These experiences would be the catalyst that nurtured his love for disco, house and jazz. Still thirsty for a sound more tribal & soulful with depth & meaning he continued on his quest to find the sound of House that would plant his feet as a permanent fixture in the annals of the house music scene in NYC and then Atlanta.
In Atlanta Yusef had become a resident DJ for Secrets, Late Night Sessions & Free Ur Soul.
Dj Yusef is the founder of Atlgreenhouse.
