3LAU Haus
The Las Vegas native is better known internationally than at home
November 29th, 2012
A Las Vegas native, 3LAU is more recognized on the national/international circuit. The articulate 3LAU is wise beyond his years, so much so that he could be mistaken for an insightful industry vet. We got some time with the worldly spinner before his Dec. 3 gig at Marquee. Read more »
