Louis Osbourne: Son of Rock Star
Ozzy makes his own waves
with CD release and world tour.

Being the son of renowned Rock Star Ozzy Osbourne it was almost Inevitable that his destiny was to be an entertainer of some description. Brought up in Birmingham, England, Louis had never taken an interest in being a musician or performer until his first experience of going to a Rave when he was just 16 years old.

" I traveled to this Rave in February 1992, Fantazia at Westpoint Exhibition Centre, Exeter, completely on my own, and discovered a whole sub-culture that absolutely fascinated me." Although Louis didn't buy any turntables for 2 years from that point, he spent a considerable amount of that time traveling the length and breadth of the UK visiting some of the nations best clubs and events. He was an early follower of more mainstream music like DJ's Sasha and Danny Rampling, but it wasn't until a friend introduced him to something completely new, that made him take that first step.

He secured a job at Birmingham's infamous Hard to Find Records, where he worked as sales manager almost 3 years..something that he refers to as his University Course in dance music. It wasn't long before he had landed his residency for House Of God, Birmingham's Techno mecca, which he still holds to this day. Soon after in Ibiza through Steve Lawler and Pete Gooding, Louis also gained a residency for Cream at Amnesia, playing on the infamous Terrace, with further gigs on the roof terrace of Pacha for the Ministry Of Sound, then as a resident at El Divino Sunset Café, with further work for Cream & Bugged Out at Amnesia, and more roof terrace work at Pacha.

While his family revolutionized television on MTV, Louis traveled the world extensively in the last couple of years, spreading his message of quality, underground dance music as well as fulfilling his commitments in the UK. Tours have included the USA, Canada, Australia, Germany, The Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Ireland. In the past 2 years Louis has been concentrating on the American market, ever increasingly finding himself on the other side of the Atlantic where the dance scene is burgeoning. With gigs this last year at clubs like Spundae (LA), Buzz (Washington DC), Eleven 50 (Atlanta) and The Opium Lounge (Miami), Shampoo (Philadelphia), Louis' star is rising. So far 2002 has been a huge year for Louis with a busy schedule that has seen him constantly touring the globe. Notable gigs have included Cream (Ibiza), Creamfields (UK), Union at Rehab (Leeds UK), Shine (Belfast UK) plus numerous dates around the USA. The end of the year finishes with more work booked in the USA, plus a 4 week tour of Australia and New Zealand in November. Louis has recently signed for a DJ Mix Compilation series with New York label Blue Chip Records. The first release due Spring next year. There is a TV contract under negotiation in the USA as well, so 2003 will be an even bigger year for Louis.
