MJ West
Native to the Midwest, MJ West started from an early age discovering the limitless world of music and all the potential music encompassed. Being that both of his parents were dancers and musicians, he was naturally drawn to learn about music. Starting in junior high and continuing on through high school MJ West was in various performing jazz and show choirs. These choirs had many influences from numerous styles of music ranging from the 20's through the 70's, folk, and percussion thus leading him to dancing. After dancing in show choirs for 6 years he found the underground world of the house music scene deep within the clubs, venue's, and warehouses in Oklahoma City.
After many years of being in the dance music scene MJ decided to take a chance at his real dream and start to DJ. As an avid dancer, promoter, party goer turned MJ West has always had the goal of spreading the intoxicating sounds of house music wherever he goes. With influences from Carl Cox, Donald Glaude, Collette, Miguel Miggs, Mark Knight, Deep Dish, DJ Dan, Marques Wyatt, and King Britt, his eclectic style of bass lines, instrumentals, funky breakdowns, and uplifting vocals drives his funky house style. Recently relocating to Phoenix in July of 2009 MJ West is all about bringing the Arizona dance music scene some sexy funky beats!
