Grand High Priest

about

Born Craig Loftis, Grand High Priest has been in the Chicago music scene since 1979. He first came on the scene as a party promoter, starting what was to become one of Chicago’s most successful social clubs…VERTIGO. In 1981, after having problems with renting DJs, he became a DJ himself, and that was when it all began. He decided to take it further and attended Columbia College in Chicago where he received a degree in Art and Entertainment Management and Sound Engineering. As time went on he made a few important contacts and accomplishments in Chicago’s entertainment scene. In 1983, he redesigned the lighting and sound system for 2 clubs owned by Jim Flint - The Baton Show Lounge and the Re Doubt. At this time he was also working very closely with the now famous Frankie Knuckles. After redesigning the sound system for his club the PowerPlant 1015 he became Frankie’s personal sound engineer and opening DJ for the next 4 years. In that year Craig and Frankie worked on the development of Frankie’s production company PowerPlant LTD. Along with various remixes of existing songs, Craig and Frankie concentrated on producing a Chicago artist named Jamie Principle. When Frankie decided to leave Chicago in 1988, Craig was offered the position as chief engineer in charge of production for DJ International Records where he remained for the next eight years. In that time Craig engineered, mixed and produced songs for Fast Eddie, Tyree Cooper, Julian Perez, Badboy Bill, Frankie Hollywo
