hip hop.
During his childhood, he was exposed to blues, soul,
jazz, funk, RnB, hip hop along with other indigenous
genres like juju, apala, fuji and highlife, giving him
an eclectic flair for music.
He started the Road Block Street carnival in Nigeria
which was a forum for hip hop artistes to be
groomed, whilst engaging in lyrical battles.
Jatt has performed on the stage with American
singers, inclduing Usher Raymond, Shaggy, Eve, K-
C1 and Jojo, Naughty by Nature, Carog Wheeler,
Magic System and David Hyden, Sean Paul, and a
host of others.
He is also the official DJ for the Play Safe national
campus tour in Nigeria, poised at warring against

wheels across Africa in countries such as Benin
Republic, Cote D’Ivoire, Togo, South Africa and
some European countries and the U.S.A.
Some of his songs include Thank you Mr DJ, Jump
Off, Spin and Glasses Up.
