From here he played the Top 40 clubs and soon crossed the street to where the sounds of House beckoned.His style he describes as, 'starting off not slow, but with something that catches your attention, something that isn't too hard and then takes you on a roller coaster ride, up and down, ambient for a second, and then it's in your face. It's hard again'.J-Prez has a deck presence which builds up any dance floor, ensuring eruption. He is a professional through and through. One thing he finds to be of utmost importance is to feel what the crowd is feeling in order to deliver what they want.

I don't want to play what he or she has in the last hour.'He has opened for DJ Keoki and played alongside many great Canadian deck talents such as, Deko-ze, Addy, Nathan Barato, Sydney Blu, el Duran and international talent, Behrouz. He has also closed for The Scumfrog.J-Prez has to be one of the most humble of DJs out there making him a pleasure to work with. He is a great asset to any one club's residency or special event. He invites interaction with those on the dance floor and possesses a willingness to spend time with them. Open to suggestions, ideas and keeping his ear to the ground for original, unique tracks is what makes J-Prez one the most versatile DJs today.
