Arnold Smith,
known as DJ LS ONE, has steadily been rocking the crowds since the
tender age of 8 years old. From outdoor jams in the parks of Brooklyn
to elite clubs and major concerts: from wedding receptions with
his father (who was also a DJ) to exclusive private and industry
parties. DJ LS ONE has steadily established himself as one of the
industry's most talented and energetic masters of the turntables.
In 1991, he
met the legendary DJ Mr. Cee (Big Daddy Kane's DJ) from New York's
radio station HOT 97, who noticed a raw and undeveloped talent in
this young teen and took him under his wingÖand there it began.
LS took the hip-hop game by storm. Mr. Cee had him on 91.5 WNYC,
doing one of the hottest hip-hop shows in NY at the time. From there
he went on to do the HANK LOVE and DNA show on radio 105.9 WNWK
spinning alongside DJ REG-REG, then on to DJ REG'S own show on the
same station. During his time there he had interviewed the rap trio
ONYX. Recognizing his talent and professionalism, the group invited
him to become their DJ which he
graciously accepted and thus began his ride into the DEF JAM family.
In 1996 he met
DMX, another artist on the DEF JAM label. Now, during that same
year ONYX broke up as a trio. That left LS back to just spinning
at Clubs. DMX and the RUFFRYDERS also recognized LS's skills and
asked him to be a member of their team. DJ LS ONE became the official
DJ of DMX and a member of the RUFFRYDERS family.
Life on the
road with DMX started in March 1998 with the HARD KNOCK LIFE TOUR,
the CASH MONEY/RUFFRYDERS TOUR and the ANGER MANAGEMENT TOUR in
the year 2000, as well as numerous spot dates and tours throughout
the US, Europe, Japan and the Caribbean.
DJ LS ONE's
Resume includes playing on various radio stations in major US cities
from NY to LA, as well as working with other artists such as:

SCRATCH, EVE (Ruffryders), DRAG-ON (Ruffryders), THE LOX (Ruffryders),
Q-TIP (A Tribe Called Quest), G-DEP (Bad Boy), GURU (Gangstarr)
and many more.
LS currently
resides in South Florida in the suburbs of Miami. When he is not
on the road With DMX, he DJ's at some of South Beach and Ft. Lauderdale's
hottest parties, events and clubs. His regular spots include CLUB
LEVEL, KRAVE, CRISTAL, STEREO with appearances at AMNESIA, GODDESS,
LIVING ROOM, CROBAR, and many more. He is also the resident DJ for
