Hailing from Toronto, JNR credits his love for music to the weekly trips to the record shop at the local mall with his dad and siblings at a ripe young age of 5. Older cousins with regular basement parties also had a huge part in inspiring him to DJ. In Singapore since 1998, he has been purveying his brand of soul-inspired feel-good music whenever he plays.
JNR’s sound at its heart, is a blend of Deep House, Detroit Techno, fused with Boogie, Philly Soul and early Chicago House. He is inspired by Djs like Theo Parrish, MK, RadioSlave, Jeff Mills, Ben Klock, Kevin Saunderson, Derrick May, Osunlade, to name a few. And his love for Soul-inspired music runs deep, as he as also been known to throw down eclectic sets, blending Vintage Breaks, Neo Soul and Jazzy Hip Hop, or even hold it down with straight up Old Skool Hip Hop.
A founding partner of Matteblacc. His vision is to bring together like minded people who are connected by the same love for soul inspired music, design and other cool things that are left of center
