From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lenny Fontana is a house music DJ from New York City.
Fontana first began deejaying professionally in the mid-1980s, playing at clubs such as Garage and Better Days.[1] His first major exposure was with the track "A Mystical Journey", which hit #30 on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club/Play tracks chart in 1996.[2] He won international recognition as part of the production team for Powerhouse, who scored a #1 dance hit in the US with "What You Need"; the song also hit #13 on the UK pop charts.[3] In 2000, he returned to the UK charts with "Chocolate Sensation" (featuring DJ Shorty), peaking at #39.[4] He continues to make international appearances regularly.
His new single for 2008 - "Wait 4 U" (a collaboration with UK producer Ridney and vocalist Larisa) is due for release through Ministy of Sound (Germany) in June. The track has already been used on Germany's Next Top Model 2008[5] and Ministry's [6]
