We are honoured and excited to welcome JAZZY JAY to Singapore – Hip Hop Pioneer, Afrika Bambaataa’s right-hand man, and one of the funkiest DJs on the Planet.
Jazzy Jay’s illustrious career began in the streets of the Bronx in the early 70’s as a Zulu King B-Boy and Dj under the guidance of Afrika Bambaataa. His skills earned him a place as a Universal Zulu Nation DJ and during the 80’s club revolution he went from performing at street parties to New York’s hottest clubs at the time – the Negril, Roxy, Ritz, and Danceteria. Around the same time, he starred as The Roxy’s DJ in the Hip Hop classic film Beat Street, also contributing to the movie’s soundtrack. He was also one of the first DJs to bring Hip Hop music to the airwaves and his KISS FM show grew so popular that it was syndicated on Radio One in the UK.
He was propelled to stardom when he co-produced the groundbreaking hit “Planet Rock” with Afrika Bambaataa and The Soul Sonic Force, and went on to co-found Def Jam records with Rick Rubin and Russell Simmons, working with artists such as LL Cool J, Beastie Boys, and Public Enemy.
Next came Jazzy Jay’s Studio – where acts including Fat Joe, Brand Nubian, A Tribe Called Quest kick-started their careers. And together with Rocky Bucano he founded Strong City records, producing a multitude of hits with old school Hip Hop legends Ice Cream Tee, Masters of Ceremony, Busy Bee and Don Baron.
Jazzy was inducted into the Technics/DMC DJ Hall of Fame in 2000 and is featured in the DJ documentary Scratch, interviewed in the basement of his home where he keeps his extensive music collection, rumoured to be 300,000 to 400,000 records.
Still heavily involved in the development of the art form, Jazzy is busy rocking parties all over the World, hosting events and speaking on panels about Hip Hop history, industry, and politics.
