Lee Cadena started his own DJ company at 15 Yrs old. By the time he was 18, he had the largest Latino owned mobile DJ service in West Michigan. At age 16, he was hired by industry great, Leighton Singleton (Polygram/Polydor/Platinum Ent.) for local record chain, Crazy Larry's. He would soon become a manager/buyer there before moving into management at Believe in Music, a record store chain with 21 locations. A top club and mobile DJ in Grand Rapids, Mi. Lee was approached to mix at commercial radio in the early 80's. The success of his shows put him in as the morning show host at WKWM where in just a few years, he became the PD/MD through the guidance of now Sr. V.P. at Sony Music, Randy Franklin. Lee's been awarded National Program Director of the Year and Music Director of the Year by both Impact Magazine and Urban Network Magazine. In 1995 he did overnights at KSOL, San Francisco. In 1996 he created and hosted the "Lowrider Oldies Show" on L.A.'s #1 station, Power 106fm. It was the #1 show in L.A., its time slot for 3 years. He then went to Q-104.7fm, Ventura and took the 10pm - 1am time slot from a 5.3 share to a 13.7 (Arbitron) in just weeks with his #1 show, "The Love Pad." Lee was National Rap Editor at Hits Magazine in 1995 and then went on to Urban Network Magazine as Rap Editor in 1996. While at Urban Network he created the CD series, "Rapology," to promote new and upcoming hip-hop artists.

The first group he consulted was Xero, they changed their name to Hybrid Theory and Lee would introduce them at famous Hollywood spots like, The Whiskey and The Troubadour. When the group got signed to WB, they changed their name once more to, Linkin Park. His first R&B artist was Teena Marie. Lee took her from an 11 year hiatus and revamped her image and sound while keeping in integrity with Teena’s writing and vibe. He signed her to an unprecedented deal at Southern Rap Label, Cash Money Records. He returned her to radio and got her nominated for two Grammys.

He understands radio, marketing, promotions, publicity and how to get work done between the artist and label. He is a music man and shares my enthusiasm for Soul, Funk and R&B. He fuels my creativity and is a blessing, our future looks tremendously bright." - Teena Marie  (2X Grammy Nominee/Motown Icon/Singer/Songwriter/Performer/Producer)

He took care of business in a timely manner and was always respectful of other opinions.  The representation of his clients is always done with integrity. I think of him as the gentle giant of management, he's always courteous but don't take no mess.  Another great thing about Lee is his ability to see the future. He has a lot of experience to draw from and therefore can very accurately see trends down the road. He's chalked full of ideas and is a real "music man" - he knows his stuff!  In short, Lee Cadena is THE MAN!" – George Duke (6X Grammy Award Winner- 9X Grammy Nominee, Producer, Pianist, Songwriter, Arranger, Performer)

I trust Lee's ideas and opinions greatly...” - Terri Lyne Carrington (Grammy Winning Drummer/Singer/Songwriter/Producer)
