I really wanted to do a kick ass write up on Mr. Jack Lafleur, but he beat me to it. I think what he wrote in his bio sums up what Jack is all about. What follows is Jack in his own words via his website www.jacklafleur.com.
Many people struggle to find moments in their lives that change them forever. It was a cold January night in Boston when Josh Wink played a set putting an indelible stamp on me. On this night, I formed a band with House Music so strong it would ultimately lead me to walk away from all my successes and focus solely on my passion: House Music.
In 2002 I bought my first set of turntables and within a month I had my first gig. In the span of 4 short years, I shot up the ranks from an industry unknown to Director of Promotions for the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. During this rise, I served as the creator or co-creator of some of the most successful parties in Vegas: Rehab Sundays, Worship Thursdays, Indulge Fridays, and Sunday School.
And then I walked away from it all.
Through all these achievements, I was left with little time for my love affair with House Music. So, in November of 2005, I added DJing to my duties of promoting Rehab, along with Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at Body English. I started spinning special Vocal and Electro House sets in the side room called "The Parlor" at Body English during their raucous Sunday School parties. This secret "invite only" party quickly built steam and has now become the most talked about room for House Music in Vegas.
The success and enthusiasm for Sunday nights in The Parlor parlayed into Body English forming a partnership with Ministry of Sound for Wednesday nights, at which I served as Resident DJ.
Having now severed my ties to my "day job" with the Hard Rock, my sole focus is devoted to DJing. In the past, I had to turn down requests to play in San Francisco, LA, Santa Barbara, Chicago, New York, Dallas, and London...
My career begins anew: I am now a DJ.
