Who is DJ Afrolicious?

What’s up! I’m James Jessie (otherwise known as DJ Afrolicious)! I was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona and I’ve been DJing for 4 years professionally out of Salt Lake City, Utah. I graduated from the University of Utah as a Game Design Major with a Minor in Music Technology. I’ve done a variety of events over the past few years including weddings, birthday parties, grad parties, dances, and much more.

Throughout my life, I’ve been immersed in music. From a young age, I learned and listened to all types of different music from the 70’s, the 80’s, and the popular songs of today. My main niche is Hip-Hop and Old School 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s music and I consider it to be my bread and butter. I also work with pop music, top 40s, R&B, Latin, etc.

Besides DJing, some of my other interests include video games, pro wrestling, volleyball, doing small art projects, and graphic design. Some of my favorite music artists are Lupe Fiasco, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Anderson .Paak, Nas, and Rapsody. I also got a soft spot for 80’s classics, disco/funk, and Hawaiian reggae music!
