Triad DJ Profile
Full name: Lenard Williams
Stage Name: DJ Nominal
What it means: “I was looking for
something unique and that best describes
me. A lot of people look at me
as a typical guy, but there is more to me
once you get to know me. When something
has a nominal value, it’s an average
and not the exact value and could
be lower or higher. In my case it would
definitely be higher or above average.”
