Growing up in West London surrounded by reggae, rave, funk and hiphop, Jstar soon started DJing. This led writing and producing music that has been widely acclaimed by the likes of Mixmag, David Rodigan, Norman Jay, John Peel, Grandmaster Flash and The Clash’s DJ, Don Letts.

Jstar’s productions are constantly pushing boundaries, illustrated in albums such as ‘Licensed Plates’, ‘Stand To Order’ and ‘Dub To Order.

“I love to play a killer reggae sets with amazing MC’s but whether it’s a party or club, sometimes I’ll spin everything from tropical disco to funk, dancehall or drum & bass -especially if it all owes its debt to sound system business” Jstar

Jstar often features as tour DJ/Performer with international vocalist Soom T (also performing his album live as support for Soom T’s band)-  and has performed solo many times at festivals such as Glastonbury (UK), EXIT (Serbia), Womad (UK), Fusion (DE), Electric Castle (Romania), Splore (NZ) Symbiosis (USA), Island Vibe (AUS), The Big Chill, Big Love, Kelburn Garden Party (SC).  He has played shows in almost every country in Europe as well as India, China, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Kenya, Mexico, Vietnam, Cambodia, Singapore and been a guest at Ibiza’s legendary Space club 4 times.
