>With a resume that includes DJ & Production work for Grammy Winner Mary J. Blige, Lauryn Hill, The Roots, Alicia Keys, Joss Stone, The Isley Brothers, Kanye West and more, it's little wonder why J.Period is making big moves these days. Since 2005, his remix work has been commissioned by Def Jam Records, Capitol/EMI, Sony, Geffen and Interscope Records; featured in Billboard Magazine, MTV News, SPIN, Vibe, XXL, and The Source; and is currently featured in upcoming TV trailers for Universal Pictures' blockbuster American Gangster.
J.Period's production expertly bridges old and new styles, making full-time business out of remixing and re-inventing. Weaving elements of classical, rock, jazz, and soul with contemporary Hip-Hop, J.Period breathes new life into classics-opening younger audiences to previous generations of music and creating a powerful blend of new and familiar elements. These skills have earned J.Period gigs as Lauryn Hill's Official Tour DJ, Event DJ for Kanye West and P. Diddy, as well as a host of accolades: 2x "Mixtape DJ of the Year", 2x MTV "Top DJs", Allhiphop "Mixtape of the Year", and more. Like the name says: The Hottest Remixes. Period.
