Beginnin:
Jessus interest for music began at the age of 13, when he started making the beats for a local hip-hop band. After finishing this project, he started to explore different sounds and listening to artist such Jean Michael Jarre, Oakenfold and Armin Van Buuren, which make him, fall in love with electronic music and mostly with the progressive and trance sounds.
After finishing high-school, Jessus traveled to Boston to study for a year and he had the opportunity to really feel the international dance scene going to see top artist like Sasha and James Zabiela at famous club Avalon, entering of course with a fake ID J and some arab friends help.
Once he was back in Colombia, he was called to make one of the tracks for the soundtrack of a Colombian movie. The result was a beautiful piece called “Amador”, track that later on would reach the Top 20 chart on the only dance radio station in Colombia, “La X 103.9 fm”.
By the age of 20 Jessus was offered to make a one hour show on this radio station where he became the first dj to play a trance show, which then became of the most listened shows of the station and gave him the chance to play in front of 8.000 people, in one of the radio station anniversary.
