Born in the East, but raised in the West, DJ JAM got his inspiration to be a DJ when he was only thirteen (13) years old. Jam's brother-in-law bought him his first turntables and mixer from a friend who was visiting from NYC. JAM had experimented with playing the trumpet, drums, keyboard and guitar throughout his elementary, middle and high school years. Now he had a new instrument to learn; two turntables and a mixer. JAM continued to practice his skills in his bedroom until, after playing many house parties for free, he was offered his first paying DJ gig. When he was fifteen, JAM became a "professional" when he was paid $50.00 to DJ at a high school house party. At 16, JAM was ready for the club and college scene, and was spinning on commercial radio in San Diego by the time he was 18. When he was 19, DJ JAM displayed his skills as a battle DJ and advanced to the DMC US Championship. DJ Jam quickly gained status as "the" DJ of the San Diego area. As the early nineties arrived, Jam pursued a Bachelor's degree in Music with an emphasis in Audio Engineering at Cal State Dominguez Hills (Los Angeles Area). While he was in college, JAM continued to work on his DJ skills by putting out his now infamous mixtapes. This exposure parlayed into more and better paying DJ gigs at nightclubs and special events in Los Angeles and the surrounding markets. In 1989, JAM met Snoop through Kurupt and mutual friend EL Dogg (RIP). A few months later, JAM hooked up with DR DRE whom he met through the infamous Chris "The Glove" Taylor (DJ For ICE T in the movie BREAKIN). Both Dre and Snoop approached JAM to be their tour DJ within months of each other�.the rest is history in the making. DJ JAM is hailed for his style, creativity and ever-growing list of achievements.
