Louis' love for music started at an early age with his Aunt Minnie who always had music playing and was always singing to him, and no matter what she was doing she always had music playing in her house. This sparked his desire to follow in the footsteps of his father, Louis Fields, who DJ'd in his early years and became a DJ.

In 2000, Louis moved to Columbus, Ohio where his charismatic personality on the mic, love of music, and exceptional skills on the turntables skyrocketed King 7even to phenomenal heights in Columbus' music scene. King 7even was not only a DJ, but a manager, a promoter, a hype man, and sound engineer. King 7even worked alongside the city's hottest DJs while making club night feel like a Brooklyn block party. Louis, AKA King 7even, had a strong personality, and was loud, funny, witty, straightforward, and never lacked confidence.
