A drummer since childhood, Jess began DJing and collecting records in his teens. He played parties and clubs, founded bands and ran a used record store, exploring the world of music and honing an ear for new sounds.

As a team-leader at an advertising agency, Jess became fluent in the art of communications, working with a variety of clients and developing a sense for creative branding and style.

Now a senior programmer with boutique music consultants Music Styling, he creates inspired mixes and bespoke playlists for restaurants, bars, hotels and resorts across the globe.

Jess combines instinct, detail and a passionate approach to create powerful music experiences.
