"J.D.L."

Stemming from the New York/New Jersey life as a local DJ, "J.D.L." has transformed into an artist to be acknowledged. His love of music started him learning the art of DJing in 1980. Starting as a Hip-Hop/Scratch Turntablist, his foundation in true to the Hip-Hop culture. Through the years he wanted more of the craft and sought to experiment with different genres (i.e. NY Freestyle & House). This experimentation turned into an ever-evolving DJ.

In the 90s, with the birth of Techno & Jungle, he continued to expand & become a Master of the Mix. Through combining the genres in a complete non-stop mix set, "J.D.L." sets himself apart from your typical DJ.

At the turn of the millennium, "J.D.L." stepped up his game by recording 'white label' remixes & utilized them in his mix performances. This turned into his ability to write his own music. In 2005, he had became a student in the Recording Arts program at International Academy of Design & Technology & graduated December 2007. During his time at the Academy, he had demonstrated his skills in various ways.

His accomplishments include: Winner of 2 of the DJ Battles held at the Academy; assisted with the planning, coordination, and hosted the Academy events; planned, coordinated, and hosted the DJ/Emcee Battle held in February of 2006; completion of an EP release (all original music); had a jingle purchased by local TV station MoreTV32 for their "Bikini Cast" project and the released of several DJ mixed CDs. He created 3 music groups due to his collaborations with other song writer-composers. As of late, he is now the music writer/producer for various independent local artists in Tampa, FL, as well as working on his own projects. He is also writing music for film/television as well.

With the concentration of his newer projects, expect to hear an array of diversity in his upcoming releases!
