C-Jay
http://www.thesessions.nl

Born in 1976, multi talented Dutch artist C-Jay took up an early interest in electronic and experimental music from the hands of artists like Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis and Tangerine Dream…
At the age of 11, C-Jay started taking his first muscial educations on the ins- and outs of both digital and musical instruments, with the enthousiastic love and support of his parents……

And now years later, C-Jay is as diverse as it can get in the dance music business: recordstore owner (sessions recordstore), dj, producer, labelowner (the sessions recordings), labelmanager (first impression recordings) and promoter of his own underground dance nights, called “The Sessions”…
Guest dj’s who played with him on his events include: James Holden, Chris Fortier, Quivver, Chris Cowie, Jaydee, Mo Shic, Andy Jarrod, Fred Numf and many more. With most of them a nice friendship was the result, and jaydee and fred numf are now real good friends of C-Jay.

After being a solo musician all his life, C-Jay hooked up with Dutch top engineer BlueSparkle in 2001 and got his first worldwide release in the Spring of 2004!
He got his first break on the Moun10 imprint, and this release (called “SwayWatch”) got massive support from artists like The Flash Brothers, Chris Fortier and Fred Numf.
His second release was made together with Jaydee under the“Graylock” moniker, and got released on First Impression Recordings, the label which C-Jay manages for ……Jaydee. This release got supported, played and charted by Armin Van Buuren, Ton TB, Paul Van Dyk, The Flash Brothers, Carl Cox and many more.

Due to the fact that both releases were received so well by the international dance scene, C-Jay decided to start his own recordlabel, “the sessions recordings.” The label is now a fact, and the first release hit stores worldwide in november 2004. The label is about
C-Jay’s own productions, with remixes of other artists scheduled early 2005.

Having played with almost every big star of the progressive scene, C-Jay is bound to become one himself. Watch out for this multi-talented hot shot from Holland….

Not doing it for the Hall Of Fame, but just loving his job and the scene, C-Jay is known for his motto: “Progressive is an attitude….”
And we agree…..
