His innovative techniques and musical choices helped shape the sound that would become a global phenomenon. 🎧🎶
Another key figure in the development of house music is Marshall Jefferson, often referred to as the 'Father of House Music' for his contributions to the genre, including his iconic track "Move Your Body." Jefferson's work in the Universal Recording Studios in Chicago and his collaborations with Trax Records were instrumental in bringing house music to a wider audience. 🎧🎶
Lil Louis, also known as the 'Founding Father of House Music,' is credited with furthering the genre's reach and influence.
