Sean Lee Hager, known by his stage name Daddy Love, is a seasoned DJ and breakbeat pioneer whose eclectic sound is the product of decades immersed in diverse musical landscapes. Born in Xenia, Ohio, in 1973, and raised along the East Coast during the vibrant '80s, Sean's early exposure to Motown, gospel, soul, and the golden age of hip-hop—featuring artists like Run-DMC, LL Cool J, the Beastie Boys, and Egyptian Lover—laid a rich foundation for his unique style. His teenage years introduced him to metal, further broadening his musical palette. At 14, Sean relocated to Texas, where he secured his first DJ residency at a roller rink. A memorable incident—mixing Prince's "Batdance" with Lords of Acid—led to his dismissal but ignited a deeper passion for industrial and new-wave rhythms. Throughout the '90s and 2000s, he became a fixture in Houston's after-hours scene, known for his dynamic presence both on the dance floor and behind the decks.

In 2007, Sean's reputation caught the attention of Jay-Z's team, leading to a pivotal booking for NBA All-Star weekend events alongside Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, and Swizz Beatz. This milestone ushered in a three-year residency at VIA Afters and opening slots for industry legends such as Joeski, Frankie Bones, Dirty Dan, and Keoki.

More recently, Daddy Love has had the honor of sharing stages with renowned artists like DJ Craze, Dieselboy, Nick Rockwell, and Neuroheads. He also performed at the Off The Grid Campout, a grassroots underground music festival known for its eclectic lineup and vibrant community atmosphere. Today, Daddy Love continues to energize audiences with sets that traverse house, bass-house, techno, trap, hip-hop, dubstep, drum 'n' bass, and breakbeats. A former dedicated B-Boy turned masterful DJ, he channels the same fervor from the dance circles into his performances, ensuring every set is a captivating journey that keeps the dance floor alive.
