American DJ received some national attention recently by being featured on “The Cromarties”, on the USA network! Brand Ambassador, Leonardo Washington, of Texas-based Next Level Entertainment was commissioned by Antonio Cromartie and his family to celebrate his retirement from the NFL. The four-time Pro-Bowler marked the occasion with an over-the-top, celebrity-filled celebration. Leonardo took the event to the next level by utilizing 24 Adj pin spot Go’s, 12 Adj element hex uplights, the Airstream DMX system to control all wireless fixtures, and ADJ’s American Audio WU-419V wireless microphone system. The enhancements delighted guests, in addition to Leonardo’s DJ and MC work, which kept guests dancing and entertained for the entire occasion.

Leonardo grew up in Monroe, Louisiana, where, a bright student, he made the honors list throughout his time at elementary school and junior high. It wouldn’t be until fifth grade that he would discover his love for music and, despite cutting his DJ chops in Atlanta, GA, go on to operate a successful entertainment company out of Texas, using his strong work ethic and commitment to professionalism to provide an excellent service for clients across the state and beyond.

I was always determined not to let my present situation define who I wanted to become in the future. I appreciate where I came from, and it taught me many life lessons. My grandfather instilled in me the belief in doing a job and doing it well – I still believe in that to this day.

Harnessing this determination, Leonardo picked up music during fifth grade, though he soon discovered that he’d already missed out on listening to many genres, leaving him plenty of catching up to do: “We were only permitted to listen to gospel until I got to high school,” Leonardo tells us. “I missed all of the great music of the seventies, eighties and nineties. Imagine what happened to me when I first heard Earth, Wind, and Fire, Prince, Heavy D, Run DMC…”

Pursuing his love for music of all kinds, Leonardo started out playing the trumpet but, in time, moved over to the French horn. He even bagged himself a spot in the ‘World Famed’ Grambling State University Tiger Marching Band. And it was during this time that Leonardo “fell in love with all different varieties of music” and, he tells us, “recognized that I had a knack for spotting a hit before the song even hit the radio,” providing him with a skill that would prove key to his future success as a DJ.
