Dr JAY - De Prince of Soca
Known
as 'De Soca Prince', Canada's most prominent Soca DJ,
is proud to call Toronto home. He has taken his radio
show (Soca Therapy) from Canada to the Caribbean, the
U.S. and more.
Jay
is undoubtedly one the world’s best Soca DJs and
was recently recognized as such by the Soca Awards Organization
for the second time with the 'International Soca DJ
of the Year' award. He was the
Toronto DJ of the Year 98-99, Flavour Pool DJ of the
Year and was
also nominated for Best Radio/Media Personality from
2001 - 2004 and won the award in 2002 at the Canadian
Urban Music Awards. "The recognition is great and
I'm thankful. But that's not why I do this. I truly
love Soca music and cannot imagine my life without it."
Even though his weekly radio show, Soca Therapy on FLOW
93.5, has been consistently at the top of the ratings
in its time slot (according to the BBM surveys), Dr
Jay remains humble. "Talent can take you where
your character can sustain you. That's what I want to
be known for. Not just being a good DJ, but for being
a good person."
Regarded as one of Soca music’s pioneers in North
America, Dr JAY is always trying to stay ahead of the
curve and has consistently brought new ideas to the
industry. Very recently, Dr Jay introduced PODCASTING,
which is a first within the Soca music scene. Each week,
a high-energy mix is available for free via www.socatherapy.com
and www.toronto-lime.com
for Soca music lovers to enjoy an original Dr. Jay mix
on their iPod or mp3 player. Last week's Shock Treatment
mix boasted over 18,000 downloads.
Dr Jay prides himself on working with young DJ's. He
is a DJ instructor at the newly established Scratch
Lab Insitute (The very first DJ School in Canada) and
is the founder of KOS Radio (yet another avenue to nurture
and develop the talent of DJ's within the 'Kingdom of
Soca').
