Influenced by attending many parties in the early 90’s LA Underground Scene, J jumped in to DJ’ing in 1991 and hasn’t stopped since.
Based in Santa Barbara, CA where he joined up with The League of Spiritual Discovery in 1992, J was instrumental in bringing some of the first Warehouse Parties to the Central Coast as well as holding multiple residencies at numerous of Santa Barbara’s Club’s, Lounges and Private Events. J has held additional residencies in LA with onE Entertainment, The Pool at the Artisan (Las Vegas) and Beatbox SB.

J’s influences have come from the early days of Hip Hop, Soul and Disco. First coming across House and Techno in the late 80’s, he gravitaed to the sound that encompassed all of his early influneces in a single orchestration.
Currently J is working on group projects with The Left Coast Commission as well as solo projects under his alias J.Kush with releases do out in 2016.
