The Producer:
Jayoza first caught eye to Denis Doeland past A&R for ID&T and current president of Dance-Tunes.Com. After sending out some demos Denis saw the talent & potential of Jayoza and signed his first international release via D-T Exclusive the largest dutch dance music website and digital download sister company to ID&T. This led to a successful global distribution of Jayoza's original productions reaching everyone from Holland to Japan. Although Jayoza was happy with this, he began shifting his style more to a House/Iberican sound. This led to productions like Back 2 Ibiza & More Cowbell. In which recently Norman H of UK StrippedMuzikClub signed to his Stripped Digital imprint right away after hearing them here at Myspace.com/JayL. Jayoza - Back 2 ibiza EP will be available globally through beatport on May 22, 2009. There is a lot of things cookin' in the studio so this is just the beginning!

How it came to be:
Ever since he can remember, Jayoza was always fascinated by music. This fascination lead to the curiosity and interest to create music at a very young age. It all started with the piano, guitar/drums (simateously), and then DJ'ing. While he was in high school, Jay was always involved in a band and was constantly practicing his instruments. His main role was the lead guitar player but more importantly created the main melodies, progressions and structure of the songs. Unknowingly stimulating his mind & self training his creative talent to shape the future of a budding producer. During these years, Jay also became immersed into breakbeats and DJ'ing where he learned how to treat turntables and a mixer like an instrument.

As time went on, Jay became increasingly interested in club/dance music and less interested in alternative rock. Around 1999 It was dj sets from artists like Paul Van Dyk, Sasha & Digweed that transformed this breakbeat dj/guitar player into a 100% dedicated dance music dj and producer. Immeresed in dance music, Jayoza never looked back. As a producer Jayoza is influenced by the diverse background of his musical history, as well as a multicultural upbringing. With that said, Jayoza's style is unique blending house, progressive and techno with a general tribal and natural groove taking in all the different influences and sounds from all over the world. The future looks bright for this up and coming producer/dj, with many productions being finalized and work being done in the studio. Watch this space for upcoming releases!!!
