The story behind the man himself… from an early age Jay Wheeler had an ear for music there was no doubt about it. When he was about 9 he had his first drumming lessons by his school music teacher, from that humble beginning into the world of music he was a clear stand out. Jay played at a variety of concerts between 9 -12 years old. He stopped playin the drums at the age of about 13, and begun his journey into the DJing world; thanks to Stance Daniels who moved in next door some years ago.
Jay can recount on numerous nights he and Stance (at that time Jay 10 and Stance 14) used to stay up an listen to the late night radio shows with DJs. Now about ten years later they’re still friends. They work together on occasions for promoting on the radio station 97.7fm in 2004, whilst doing this they make mixes and just recently helped each other out with producing tracks!
In Jay’s high school years, like any boy then he chased a few girls. When he wasn’t doing that, he was involved in organizing and DJing at his school’s fundraising discos. With the help of several other students and Teachers; Jay used to organize the prizes, music selection, lighting and the PA set up.
In 2006 Jay Wheelers music therapist entered him into a song writing competition! Of course he was excited to have placed second with his new modernized version of his out dated school song.
Regardless of his troubles in the past, he is now focusing on his DJing and at this moment he is experimenting with the different dynamics of sounds and beats in his music that is his life passion.
Some facts u might not know untill u see me: i am disabled, im in a wheelchair, i cant walk at all. i have a disability called leukodystrophy however this is not a clear distintion as i dont suffer all the symptoms, the other half and what i tell people is Cerebral palsy. i tell people i have that coz its more well known and i carry most of the symptonms of it. i have been on the net to find some info. if u like to know more read on......Cerebral palsy is not a disease, like the chicken pox or measles, and therefore is not communicable. Cerebral palsy is a condition and although there is no cure, it is not progressive, as brain damage does not get worse over time. Secondary factors, such as muscle stiffness, can become more severe as the patient ages.One of the most important facts about cerebral palsy is that cerebral palsy is preventable. Measures of prevention are increasingly possible today. Tests and prenatal care can prepare a woman and alert her when possible causes arise. Pregnant women are tested routinely for the Rh factor and, if Rh negative, they can be immunized within 72 hours after the birth (or after the pregnancy terminates) and thereby prevent adverse consequences of blood incompatibility in a subsequent pregnancy. If the woman has not been immunized, the consequences of blood incompatibility in the newborn can be prevented by exchange transfusion in the baby. If a newborn baby has jaundice, this can be treated with phytotherapy (light therapy), which breaks down the bilirubin around the brain. Immunization against measles for all women who have not had measles and are susceptible to becoming pregnant is an essential preventative measure.Other preventative programs as well as facts about cerebral palsy are directed towards the prevention of prematurity; reducing the exposure of pregnant women to virus and other infections; recognition and treatment of bacterial infection of the maternal reproductive and urinary tracts; avoiding unnecessary exposure to X-rays, drugs and medications; and the control of diabetes, anemia and nutritional deficiencies. Of great importance are optimal wellbeing prior to conception, adequate prenatal care, and protecting infants from accidents or injury.The statistical facts about cerebral palsy also put the condition’s magnitude in better perspective. Currently, there are approximately 764,000 children and adults in the United States that exhibit one or more of the symptoms of cerebral palsy. Each year about 8,000 babies and infants are diagnosed with the condition. In addition, another 1,200 - 1,500 preschool age children are recognized each year to have cerebral palsy, and one child in every 400 is diagnosed with some degree of cerebral palsy.Of all diagnosed cases of cerebral palsy, congenital cerebral palsy accounts for 70% of diagnosis in children. However, an additional 20% are diagnosed with congenital cerebral palsy due to a brain injury during child delivery. The additional 10% acquire the disorder after birth.Cerebral palsy numbers also to continue to grow as the survival rate of premature babies increase due to medical advances. These statistical facts about cerebral palsy reflect numbers that will continue to grow. Utilization of the proper preventive measures can deter some cases of cerebral palsymore videos at http://www.youtube.com/jaywheeler08
