Growing up in Far Rockaway, Queens, New York Kawon Jenkins has always been surrounded by music. As a kid Kawon watched his uncles rehearse with their band or he would sit around with his parents listening to their record collection of Gospel, Funk, Soul and Disco records. It wasn’t until the emergence of Hip-Hop when Kawon’s love for music went over the top. The beats and lyrics hypnotized him to the point of being obsessed with the culture.

Naturally Kawon got into deejaing when he was carrying record crates for one of his uncles to and from parties as a teenager. “My uncle had to take a bathroom break and told me to just throw on a record after this one ends. I threw a party track on and the crowd went crazy and started dancing, that’s when I knew I knew my DJ journey began." That birthed DJ Kawon and the rest is history.
