Long-Time Grand Theft Auto Producer And Radio Host Lazlow Has Left Rockstar

Lazlow Jones, the voice of DJ Lazlow from Grand Theft Auto III onwards, has left Rockstar Games. Jones worked as a producer, director, and writer across the Grand Theft Auto series, as well as other Rockstar games, including Red Dead Redemption 2. Jones served at the studio for 19 years.

The news comes via Jones' LinkedIn page, and was picked up on by Gtamen, then reported by Kotaku. It seems that Jones left the company in April 2020, after serving as the co-chair of the Rockstar Games Production department. He left the company two months after company founder Dan Houser also left the developer.

Jones' LinkedIn page makes it clear how wide-reaching his work for the studio was. "My teams have produced video game trailers, gameplay videos, commercials, live Twitch streams, location recording- including facial capture technology, motion capture shoots, and in-game radio and TV content, including original animated shows," he wrote. "During this time I wrote dialogue, composed songs and spoof jingles, curated music and directed musicians. I have directed thousands of voiceover sessions for video games, radio and cartoons."
