Biography

JC who has lived out most of his life in city of Dubai, within the United Arab Emirates, made Dj’ing a career after years of never imagining it could be more than a hobby of just collecting records.

JC got introduced into Dj’ing at the age of 16. At the time he was confined to his room to mix up his tunes, reason being he never knew which genre of music he really wanted to stick with. In 2000, JC was introduced to the diversified genre of House Music and realized that it was the kind of music he wanted to play-out.

In 2005, JC started working at Ohm Records. Being the only independent record store in the Middle East and the people guilty of bringing club nights like the FingerLickin’ Sessions, Renaissance and Shindig to Dubai.

His unique style, charisma behind the decks and selection of music by taking clubbers on a voyage through a broad spectrum of concentrated bass driven sounds set the dance floor ablaze instantly.

Aside from DJ’ing JC has also been actively involved in writing columns for Local Magazines Infusion, TimeOut Dubai and LOUD

In February 2006, JC was signed on as a resident Deejay for Trilogy, Madinat Jumeriah, where he spent two strong years. Which undoubtedly is, the biggest club in the Region and voted into the top 50 clubs in the world by DJ Mag. Being the youngest DJ to be on the clubs roaster JC has proven himself worthy of his position. Since his signing with Trilogy JC has secured permanent warm-up slots for Shindig, Renaissance, Absolut Reflections, BIG NIGHT OUT, Bedrock, Global Underground, Defected In The House.

From September 2006, JC has also does a monthly breakz show on Radio One. Which is featured on every 3rd Friday of the month hosted by Dany Neville.

2007 saw JC being signed on as a resident for the German super club and record label Cocoon that had Sven Vath play on the first night

The current year (2008) has seen JC already secure residency at Tribe, Lotus One, Submarine, Chi, Al Maya Island (Abu Dhabi) and Cinnabar (Hilton). Plus a new night on Wednesdays at Alpha and come October JC joins the Audiotonic crew at 360 every Friday. Most recently in December JC get a weekly Thursday night residency in one of the most chic clubs in town New Asia Bar @ The Raffles – as well tours booked in Middle East, Asia and Ibiza.

Music being the air that he breathes, whether it is running events for OHM Records or DJ’ing by night. The future looks bright for JC, with regular playing slots with big names stopping by Dubai and across the region, writing Music columns and hosting weekly radio shows.
