LA*Jesus has pagan roots, actually: he was given birth in the form of a Halloween costume! Inspired by the enthusiastic response from folks he encountered, the wearer of said costume, Nate Euhus, continued making public appearances as his theistic alter ego. Before long he found himself part of the onstage menagerie of characters flanking indie rock superstars The Flaming Lips on several of their tour stops in 2003. These experiences-of-a-lifetime were capped off by a cameo appearance in The Fearless Freaks, a documentary film about the band.
Seeking to expand upon his new persona, and at the same time satisfy a growing desire for a new means of artistic expression, Nate added the letters "DJ" to the front of his holy moniker in 2005, and started spinning music both ecstatic and introspective. A copy of his first mix cd, "Stranger To The Sun, You've Seen The Light!", successfully made it's way to Blackalicious emcee Gift Of Gab, who was so captivated by this genre-crossing aural adventure that he made an inspiring late-night phone call to the unsuspecting super-fan, offering his props and thanks for being included in the mix.
Since these exalted beginnings, DJ LA*Jesus has become an irrepressible party savior, appearing alongside a plethora of notable bands, djs and performers including Islands, Lyrics Born, Blueprint (Soul Position), Baby Dayliner, Mickey Avalon, Hearts Revolution, Flosstradamus, The Aluminum Group, Walter Meego, Juice and The Machine, DJ Major Taylor, Life During Wartime DJs, Willy Joy, Moneypenny, Hey Champ, Zebo and many others.
With eternal faith in his craft and a divine arsenal of hot jams, LA*Jesus is out saving dancefloors. His mission to inspire and enlighten continues. Help Him help us all.
