HANSELL LEYVA

DJ Hansell Leyva is the latest in a line of skyrocketing success stories bred out of the Miami EDM scene. Born and raised in Cuba, he began touring with his father, a member of the world-renowned Ballet Lirico Nacional de Holguin. Traveling the globe, and seeing the power that art and music brought to the audience every night, was the inspiration that propelled him toward his own creative vision.

Hansell was hired as the performance director at Living Room Nightclub, a highly successful venue in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He began secretly experimenting with the mixer and cdjs after the club had closed. As the months passed, he began to strengthen and hone his skills until he felt confident enough to test his merits in a public forum. The following year, with his debut at Discotekka in Miami, he entered an arena he never dreamed possible, and his passion was ignited. As he looked back on his past, his struggles, and the injury that changed the course of his life, he realized the one constant of music had never changed.

His energetic style, track selection, flow, and innate ability to read and connect with the crowd has made him a stand out in a sea DJs fighting for that spot.
