DJ LAMONT YOUNG
DJ Lamont has been playing with records for 40 years since he was given his first Close N’ Play record player by his mother in 1970. DJ Lamont is now celebration his 30th year as a professional DJ spinning at clubs, restaurants, and social events of all occasions. Lamont has also worked in radio broadcasting, event management, and music retail and distribution.
Lamont started Fingersnaps as a means of creating community with music being the center of self expression. He has taught over 150 DJ's in his home studio and hundreds of youths and adults out in the community.
DJ Lamont believes that music is not just sounds, tempo, and rhythm: Djing and music is communication, “when I am spinning I achieve moments of clarity and purpose, I become very emotional. I am able to see the possibility of humans to be more then who we are. Spinning music brings me joy and I share that joy though each individual song I select for my guest.” DJ Lamont is a native of Waterbury, Connecticut and calls the Mission District of San Francisco his home.
