Many of us at Olin, remember 3Lau when he was a student here majoring in finance. Back then, he was known as Justin Blau. He was headed to Wall Street for a summer internship when he realized with encouragement from Prof. Glenn MacDonald that music was his true passion.
Justin was a member of the BSBA class of 2013 for three years before he dropped out and started performing his EDM mixes at some of the biggest venues in the US.

“3Lau” is the stage name for Justin Blau. His career as an electronic dance music (EDM) producer and DJ has taken off since he enrolled as a finance major at Olin Business School two years ago. With his parents’ permission and a leave of absence from Wash U, Blau is taking time off to tour and raise money for Pencils of Promise, a philanthropy he’s supporting to build a school in Guatemala.
We got this update on Justin (better known to his fans as 3Lau) from an article in the Las Vegas Review Journal. Blau calls Las Vegas home even though he’s on the road five days out of seven.
Check out our story on DJ 3Lau on page 3 of the 2011 OlinBusiness magazine—we knew him back in the day when he was a freshman and before he became super famous.
