About Me
Jamel's passion ...
... for music has him embarking into territory of self expression where his dexterity discovery is the byproduct of a commitment to the DJ art. Behind the decks, he's known for his technical aptitude, genre diversification, and ability to evaluate and elevate the spirit of his audiences. Delivering sound that's harmonically rhythmic, coupled with programming systemically matched, organized, and designed to facilitate an experience that makes you want to dance and prance. He's quietly, and modestly, building the reputation as a DJ who can add excitement and festivity to an, otherwise, average social congregation.
Although born ...
... on the Lower East Side (LES) he spent a lot of his years between the LES, Coney Island, and Harlem communities. In an era where hip-hop, soul, funk, jazz, classic rhythm & blues, and house music were prominent sounds played in his household, it's clear how this music has had a significant impact on his sound and can often be heard in his sets. Also a fan of electronic dance music, techno, and trap, Jamel's sound is always distinguished by his favor for bass. Rest assured, if there's a soul in the building, it will struggle resisting the temptation to move.
Studied at Dubspot ...
... a school for Electronic Music Production and DJing. Jamel showcased his ability to an internet radio station and earned a residency time slot, streaming live mixes of top 40 and popular dance music weekdays for two hours in the evenings. After several months Jamel turned his attention to an opportunity to make people dance alongside his mentor (one of Dubspot's Instructors & Co-Founders) at a prominent NYC night club. Tasked with the responsibility as an opening DJ, he programmed his sets with the right harmonic flow of songs that built anticipation and maintained crowd engagement. Jamel would later earn the opportunity to play peak hour sets where his knack for the art and passion were on full bloom.
Jamel also ...
... studied music production via other outlets that include Coursera (online) and Devotion Learn (Brooklyn, NY). With aspirations to start remixing and producing his own tracks, Jamel has become proficient with the Ableton Live 9 digital audio workstation (DAW) and Native Instruments Maschine 2.0.
