MaddJazz has been honing his innovative style Since 1996. By the age of 18, he was
already DJing at raves, loft parties and clubs. Influenced by these early raves as well as his
start in the turntablism scene—placing 3rd three years in a row at the DMC Chicago heats,
MaddJazz blends his favorite House, Techno, Rave, Hip Hop, Bmore, Electro, Booty, Juke, and
Latin elements in the attempt to find inventive ways to showcase the emergent Chicago sound.

MaddJazz has shared the decks with infamous trendsetters by the likes of AC Slater, Bad Boy
Bill, Blaqstarr, Crookers, CZR, Diplo, Distal, DJ Deeon, DJ Qbert, DJ Rashad, DJ Sega, DJ Slugo,
DJ Spinn, DJ Tameil, Dubbel Dutch, Flosstradamus, Jubilee, Kaptain Cadillac, Kingdom,
Little Louie Vega, Manare, Marvy Da Pimp, Mike Dunn, Nick Catchdubs, Paul Johnson, Tim Dolla,
The Knight Cats and The X-ecutioners, as well as opening up for Hip Hop heavyweights such as
Daddy Yankee, Jadakiss, Styles P, UGK, Maluca and Chicago’s own Kid Sister.

He’s has made raves and clubs bang across the Midwest, as well as at WMC and SXSW. Recently,
he’s brought his sounds to Belgium, France, Germany, Mexico, Poland, Puerto Rico, Spain and has
collaborated with and remixed a list of well-respected individuals such as Club Cheval’s
