Born and raised Los Angeles, CA, J-Radd first established himself as a Drummer in the Alternative/Indie Rock band Faculty (Adult Radio). He began playing drums at the ripe age of 10 but his passion for music grew from a very young age with the beat making tools found in his mother’s kitchen. Faculty (Adult Radio) played hundreds of shows up and down the Sunset Strip between 2006-2008 and opened up for many large Spanish Rock bands. The band dissolved in 2008 and J-Radd continued to focus on music by taking part in Diddy's Making his Band. In addition, he completed his Business Law degree. Having been a fan of dance music since 2001, his love for 4 on the floor kicks and captivating synths inspired him to embark on a solo project. As a drummer at heart, it is his belief that drums, and rythm are a key component in dance music.
