DJ Jaz is a Bay Area resident from the South Bay, now living in San Francisco. He found his passion for electronic music in the nineties when good friend took him to a Rave, sparking the passion for electronic music that he still carries today. Soon after, he hooked up with Brandon Yee and Harry Who, owners of a local San Jose record store named Solid Grooves. They gave him a job and it was there that got educated on house music. It was also there that Jaz hooked up with local producers Chris Jackson, with whom he started Jump Recordings, and Lucas Rodenbush (EBE) with whom he worked to create some of the first material on Jump. After a long streak of success for Jump and their artists, Jaz returned to school and moved to San Francisco, where he hooked up with this his close friend Mike Frugaletti and started the digital labels Haze Records and 456 Records. DJ Jaz continues to produce in the studio and his funky strain of floor-oriented house beats can expected to be heard on Jump in the near future.
