Up! Feat. JAGUAR SKILLS more information >> << less information
With the likes of Mark Ronson, Lupe Fiasco, Trevor Nelson and Chris Moyles unable to get enough of the original ninja - Mr Jaguar Skills - the rise (and rise) of this ground-breaking artist has been well documented. Honing his craft and love of music for the last 15 years Jag has remained true to his school and kept a slightly mysterious edge to his character; with details of his real name, age and home town etc left largely unconfirmed…

The summers of 2006 and 2007 saw a continuation of the Jezebel residency and more productions in the form of "We On" again, for Grammy-winning friend Lupe Fiasco, it was first signing to his label, Gemstones. A video was subsequently made and created a healthy buzz on the Hip-Hop scene.

The big-wigs at 3 Mobile phone network then hand picked Jag for a TV advertising campaign, Jag choosing to show his hands only, not his face on screen.

Fast forward to present day and Jaguar Skills has a weekly 10 Minute Mash Up Mix for the BBC Radio 1 Trevor Nelson Show. It has grown to one of the key features on his show. Chris Moyles has also played a mix on his show, and had a mix especially made for him.

Jag continues to receive love generally across the board at Radio 1, 1xtra and from a host of respected musicians that are now peers of his.

Last summer also saw a nomination for Best Hip-Hop DJ at the DJ Awards in Ibiza. As well as first class gigs including the mighty V Festival, Pacha-Ibiza and Cocoon-Frankfurt amongst others. It seems the best is yet to come…

Don’t take our word for it…
