Lenny Dee is a native of New York. He started his career in 1984 DJing in a local roller disco in Brooklyn NYC at the age of 17. Lenny Dee is recognized as one of New York's earliest Techno pioneers. His earlier music consisted of Disco, Electro-Body, High Energy and early House.

His dedication to musical excellence eventually paid off when he crossed paths with a local College Radio DJ Tommy Musto. Tommy was so overwhelmed by Lenny's DJ talent that he asked Lenny to make some music in his new studio in Brooklyn. Tommy and Lenny went on to make over 20 records together on Tommy's label Fourth Floor that became underground hits in the U.K.

Their music catapulted on the British charts, with the XL-Recordings release Looney Tunes in 1989.

Lenny Dee took a short break to finish his Recording Engineering degree in New York City's Institute of Audio Research. This led him to NY's prestigious Skyline Studios, which at the time was the home of one of Lenny's idols - legendary producer/singer/songwriter Nile Rodgers who is the producer of Chic, Madonna and David Bowie among others.
