Born and raised in the Bronx in 1972, Lee Jason Kibler, aka DJ Logic, spent his early years in the front row of the hip hop revolution. The sounds of Kool Herk, Afrika Bambaata and Grandmaster Flash filled his neighborhood and were broadcast around the world. With hip hop in his blood, Logic was destined to become part of the next generation of artists to take the music in a new direction. Since getting a set of turntables for Christmas when he was 14, he was on the right track. At 16, he became a founding member of the Black Rock Coaltion and Logic took spinning and scratching records around the world when as part of the group Eye and I, Logic toured with Living Color and other band's like Ice T's Body Count and The Psychedelic Furs.

Today, his long resume includes tours and recordings with jazz, rock and experimental groups including Medeski Martin and Wood, Living Color, Don Byron, Joshua Redman, John Scofield, Teo Macero, Karl Denson, DJ Spooky, DJ Olive, String Cheese Incident, Marc Ribot, Bela Fleck, Chris Whitley, Chocolate Genius and many others.

DJ Logic's latest recording project, The Anomaly (Ropeadope Records), features a masterful blend of classic funk, house, jazz, hip hop and drum and bass, everything that Logic has absorbed and made his own over the years. Co-produced by Melvin Gibbs (Rollins Band, Arto Lindsay) and Scotty Hard (Wu-Tang Clan, Prince Paul), it is genre-busting work by one of today's most fascinating, cutting edge artists.
