MaddJazz has been honing his innovative style Since 1996 at the age of 14. Within a few years he was already DJing at raves, loft parties and clubs.

Influenced by these early raves as well as his start in the turntablism scene where he won or placed in numerous DJ Battles including the Chicago DMC Heats, MaddJazz blends his favorite House, Techno, Rave, Hip Hop, Bmore, Jersey Club, Ghetto, Juke, and Latin elements in the attempt to find inventive ways to showcase the emergent Chicago sound.
