About Eli Jah
Self taught at the age of 13 Eli Jah began his life’s journey as a DJ traversing both intrastate and international borders playing clubs, raves and festivals alike. A craft mirroring and alchemized by life’s varied experiences and self growth…a sound forged from the depths of his soul honed by 30+ years of music knowledge, training and DJ theory development. Two technic 1200 turntables and a numark mixer marks the humble beginnings of Eli Jah who along with a childhood friend began mobile DJing at house parties, wedding receptions and college graduation functions. Hip Hop, electro funk and New Jack Swing were the primary music genres of choice during this formative period which was heavily influenced by 80’s underground hip hop and DJ groups such as Uncle Jam’s Army and Knights of the Turntables. The transformative period between the ages of 16 to 24 saw Eli Jah’s introduction to techno music and underground culture. At one point even co-founding Orange County based Cyco Analysis (C.A.) and producing local events during the golden era of underground party crews. More notably it was also during this period that saw the short-lived but impactful existence of the legendary Club Metropolis in Irvine, CA which boasted the resident talents and arguably boosted the careers of DJ’s Taylor, Sandra Collins and Doc Marten…progressive sounds 101. By the close of 1998 Eli Jah was playing professionally in the Los Angeles underground circuit being formally introduced to the Los Angeles scene at a successful party called The First on New Year’s Day. In the ensuing years Eli Jah has played gigs nationally in cities across America from LA to Miami including the privilege of playing the sunrise set in Arizona at the festival Earth Dance in 2002 an event held simultaneously in multiple cities across the globe in a unified effort to raise global awareness and broaden human consciousness. Along with playing multiple events in Mexico Eli Jah has also made guest appearances on radio broadcasts more recently on KX93.5 FM Laguna Limelight as well as on various live stream pod casts. “Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought.” This ancient Japanese proverb by Matsuo Basho defines the life, philosophy and art of Eli Jah. From humble beginnings as a young mobile DJ through the years of molding his craft till the present day as resident DJ with Tensity Eli Jah continues this journey and shares the alchemy of his defining sound.
