Jay Monteon, better known as J. TRON, grew up near the Los Angeles area and was always exposed to a variety of different music cultures. As a kid, he was influenced by the 80s new wave music his mother listened, the Latin music that his father listened to, and other genres listened to by the rest of his family. Jay’s father was a DJ and by the time he was eleven years old he would go out with his father to play at gigs until the age of eighteen when he was able to manage his own shows and mix his own personal styles of music. He gets a lot of his influences from The Beat Junkies and DJ Jazzy Jeff. In 2014, he entered a DJ competition and got 2nd place in 99.1 KGGI's Battle of the Beats DJ Competition. He has performed at venues such as Perch LA, Intercontinental DTLA: Spire 73, Noor Pasadena, and many more! Music has always been a huge component of his life and he will continue doing what he loves.
