Early Years

Jay Jermaine, grew up in a family where music was present, but not the main focus. His father played guitar, and together the family attended concerts by major artists such as U2, Coldplay, and Janet Jackson. Still, Jay Jermaine’s own musical journey began at the age of six, when he witnessed a DJ performing at a wedding. The equipment, the stack of CDs, and the energy that the music created left a deep impression on him. From that moment on, he dreamed of one day standing behind the turntables himself.

In grade 6, he bought his first small DJ set with his savings, but soon discovered that his passion went deeper: not just playing music, but creating it. During a visit to a local music school, he saw musicians recording beats and tracks. This inspired him to buy his own software and practice every day. It was the period when Martin Garrix was breaking through, and JAY JERMAINE also wanted to create his own music and play it for an audience

First Steps as a DJ

During his high school years, JAY JERMAINE got the opportunity to play in local bars and clubs. There, he learned how to adapt to the wishes of a diverse audience: from house to urban, from Dutch hip-hop to classics like Hazes. He developed his style of building sets in blocks, always working toward a climax and then releasing again. This ability to read the crowd quickly became his trademark.

Professional Breakthrough

In the years that followed, Jay Jermaine grew into an all-round DJ with a wide musical taste and a strong live energy. For the past two years, he has been signed to a booking agency and performs almost every weekend – from Thursday to Sunday – somewhere in the Netherlands. Whether it’s a party café or a large festival, he always manages to get the crowd going. 

Ambitions and Style

Jay Jermaine describes himself as a perfectionist. For him, “good” is never good enough, and that self-imposed pressure helps him deliver better productions each time. His versatility makes him popular with different audiences: he switches effortlessly between house, urban, and hip-hop, but can just as easily drop a Dutch sing-along classic if the atmosphere calls for it.

Alongside his performances, he works hard in his studio, where he produces his own music. He records all his shows, edits the footage, and shares it online – gradually building his brand and visibility step by step.

His biggest dream? To release music under his own name and, in the future, perform on major international stages. For now, he is fully focused on creating his own tracks and further developing his unique style.

Closing

What once began with a DJ behind the turntables at a wedding has grown into a life path that JAY JERMAINE pursues with full conviction. As Jay Jermaine, he is known as a versatile, energetic, and creative DJ who never leaves a crowd standing still. With his determination and passion for music, he is laying the foundation in 2025 for a promising career as a DJ and producer.
