Rising Stars: Meet DJ Jahmar

Today we’d like to introduce you to DJ Jahmar. 

Hi DJ Jahmar, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself
My father Was a DJ and I followed in his footsteps when my dad got cancer. I began djing his gigs while he was down and over time gained a fan base for my style of djing. Most DJs at the time only focused on mixing and blending with little microphone talking or crowd interaction. my style includes the mic, blending, and interacting with the crowd thru storytelling and quick slick comments. 

I began working with celebrities touring since I was 18 years. I have worked with Pastor Troy, Snoop Dogg, Ziggy Marley, Trap Beckham, Tory lanez, and my Brother Safaree To name a few. I have DJ the BET Awards, festivals and other gigs all over the world. I try not to put Myself in a box when it comes to genre. I really Love all music and appreciate the art and sound. My musical selections to rock the crowd. With a wide range of electic taste including reggae, reggaeton, hip hop, traditional rock and pop. I also Produced Reggae Music and Currently have two Albums on Spotify over 100k streams each released this year. I created my own charity “DeeJays Against Hunger” that aims to fight hunger among families that are homeless. 

In my spare time, I mentor children and travels to Native American Reservations where he not only donates school supplies but speaks to the children about the importance of education in the music business. Most Recently I Was Recognized by City Of Tucson Mayor as Leader of his community and Awarded Dec 21 as the Official Deejays Against Hunger Day in Tucson. 

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
The road is never smooth. I take the good with the bad and the love with the hate. I’ll be the first to admit I am not everyone’s cup of tea and my DJ style is not the traditional Arizona ” DJ style “. But the people who do support me are Die Hard Dj Jahmar Fans and they give me the motivation to keep going. One of the Main Struggles I have is that I am Jamaican So a lot of people think I just Play Reggae Music so they try to put me in that box. When people actually hear me, DJ, they are often surprised at the wide selection of music I play. 

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I call myself a musical Counselor lol. I play music that makes people Have fun and forget their troubles for the time being. I specialize in Reggae, Hip Hop, Reggaeton, rock & Pop. I am Known for my skills on the mic and making people get a deeper connection and appreciation of the song on playing based on the story or what I’m saying on the mic. I am most proud that music has allowed me to express my love for music and allows me to show people what I see when I play a song. Music has given me the opportunity to travel the whole world and be around people of all walks of life. I think what sets me apart from most DJs is that I use my platform to not just play music but help my community. more than half of my private events I do I use that money to put back into the community and invest in humanity and charity.
