As a military
brat with the opportunity to see the world at a young age, Tim
Jones has a variety of musical influences that come from all
around the world. Being influenced by the likes of Stevie Wonder
to John Digweed, his musical blends seem to be filled with a lot
of funky beats and melodies. Other dj/producers such as Dj Dan,
Donald Glaude, Lazy Rich, and Wolfgang Gartner have kept his ear
for nasty electro alive. This is what motivates Tim to keep
bringing the fire. Tim would start his musical journey in the
early part of 2003 with F.L.I, a label he would start with several
of his closest friends. While with the label he would discover his
love and passion for electronic music. After this there would be
no turning back. Tim has had the opportunity to play at some of
the most popular spots in south Florida and on some very popular
Internet radio shows, and he hopes to keep playing as many venues
as possible. Eventually Tim would like to take the future of
electronic music to the next level and reach as many people as
possible.
