Ejay started his musical life in the San Francisco Bay Area listening and dancing to Jazz, R&B and Hip Hop. With his roots already in deep soul music, its no surprise that his first experience with House music in the early 90s created a lasting impression. In fact, it was a life changing experience. In 1994 Ejay began mixing records for the San Francisco dance community. In 1996, Ejay relocated to Boulder, CO. where he fully devoted himself to the pursuit of House music. He gathered other passionate DJs, dancers, artist, friends and family and founded a collective called the Humble Souls. They have become known for their free outdoor full moon and Sunday afternoon gatherings, now a musical focal point for this area. Humble Souls give Colorado a chance to have events rich with music and vibe, but not powered by monetary gain. For these reasons, Humble Souls has become a source of enjoyment to locals who are ready to be immersed in the music. By the end of 1997 Ejay had already established himself as a successful DJ at the local clubs and parties. 1998 was the breakout year for Ejay as he was selected to be the premier resident house DJ at Soma, one of Colorados most respected nightclubs. For four years Ejay was the resident at Somas longest running house night MOVIN Fridays Friday nights where known for its eclectic blend of House grooves and powerful dance floor vibe. Ejay has held monthly residencies with King Britt, Mark Farina and has played with some of the top house DJs and producers around the world. Working along side with these DJs and producers has inspired Ejay to become involved with the production aspect of music. BumpShopMusic was launched by Ejay and Uriah West in spring of 2006 to create an outlet for their own music production and to promote up and coming like minded individuals. Through the eclectic sounds and rhythms of label artists such as The DirtyDeepPeeps, The Cough, Matthew Brian, Alan Alda, Goodfellas, Evan Rhodes, Uriah West, Ejay, The Sound Diggers, Rescue, Jonn Hawley, Khalib, Mathyou, Satori.C, Don Tinsley, Brandon Bass, Shug, and Meter Maid BumpShop will celebrate their 20th EP release in 2009.
