For the past two and a half years, she has lived in Southern California, first in San Diego and now in Orange County. Her sound is rooted in house with influences from tech house, Afro house, bass house, electro house, and trap. She also loves dance-pop, UK garage, country, hip-hop, and R&B. She’s into Jersey club energy and baile funk rhythms, aiming for a style rooted in groove and emotion, creating moments people will not forget.
As an emerging DJ, she wants to curate sets that bring people together and turn any space into a dance floor full of good vibes. Outside of music, Jocelyn loves checking out farmers markets, going to pop-up events, taking Lagree classes, coffee shop hunting, and having arts and crafts nights at home. She is also a proud cat mom of two and will always stop whatever she is doing if there is a cat around.
JAW-C’s experience with Academy was so much more than simply learning how to DJ— but it was about the community that it had brought her. From being a total stranger from San Diego, she was blessed with the opportunity to connect with peers who are equally passionate about DJ’ing. To be a part of Season 17 has brought her nothing but constant motivation and inspiration to do her best as an artist & as a person.
