Biography:

JP's musical ear and versatility as a DJ have made him the go-to guy for any type of event.

Whether its setting the mood for a Bill and/or Hillary Clinton event, tagging with DJ AM to open for the Black Eyed Peas, or rocking Mr. Kenneth Cole's holiday party JP has proven himself to be a versatile on-the-spot party rocker.

He's done his fair share of premieres and product launches for the likes of MTV, VH-1, HBO, Paramount Pictures, Warner Brothers, People Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Esquire, and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.

His musical range and technical ability (even as a House DJ) have placed him alongside the likes of Sasha, Deep Dish, Sander Kleinenberg, Roger Sanchez, and Derrick Carter.

JP cut his teeth working at Satellite Records - listening hundreds of records daily and encoding them to mp3's for their online store.

Working the House section of the sales floor allowed him to make music recommendations to store regulars like Francois K, Danny Tenaglia, Armand Van Helden, Miguel Migs, and The H-Foundation.

In 2003, JP joined Crobar New York as an intern and quickly worked his way to Assistant Music Director - under David Waxman.

After a 3-year stint DJing special events under the tutelage of Lee Blumer, JP opened NYC's first integrated DJ, VJ, and Music Production Academy DUBSPOT, located in Manhattan's Meatpacking District.
