About Me

Im Jzy.
From Glasgow, been living in dundee for a couple of years now. Was at dundee uni for a while doing Illustration but dropped out to pursue other interests, such as promotion & management.
Currently the Promoter for Pangea Clubnight, which is a collective of Artists, DJ's, & MC's who run a drumnbass night at the Reading Rooms in dundee. Im also one of the Pangea Resident Artists, and create live art each clubnight with my main man JEKT. I display my work in the club and at various other events, (check pics for some slightly old photos of artwork & live work). As well as that, I do some work for the Reading rooms doing PR for most of their gigs/acts.
In the midst of starting up my own independent promotions company called 'jayzedwhy promotions' so hopefully watch this space for some good breaks,electro & house hitting the dundee scene after the summer.
Im mostly a legal artist these days, i dont really hit the streets as much as id like to. Preferred mediums are Phat Paint pens, and wheatpasting, but starting to get back into cans recently. Influences include comic books, the melbourne wheatpasting scene, and...other shit.
I can usually be found at the rooms on a friday night, in a mess somewhere in the corner.

My Interests

Grimy Basslines, Funky Beats, Beer, Nintendo, foriegn movies, Busting Moves, Throwing Shapes, Electronic Voices, Phat Black Pens, Drawing, Graffitti, Wheatpasting, recreation in all its glorious forms, Comic Books, Rinsing Tunes, Music Festivals, Rollercoasters, PMA, Banter, Lucid Dreaming, Mincing out, skipped beanies,

I'd like to meet:

Scottish artists. Urban/graff/design - anything thats different, fresh and cool. Pangea are always on the lookout for local artistic talent and would love to exhibit your work at our night! Get in touch, all work that gets displayed is for sale so hopefully we can help out some struggling young artists make a few bucks.

Also would like to meet Electro, Breaks, House & DNB dj's who are interested in playing in dundee, pangea is the perfect platform for dundee when it comes to dnb, and jayzedwhy promotions is interested in putting on the rest.
