About CJ Styles

Stemming from a musical background, CJ Styles started taking piano lessons from the age of 9, studying music theory and playing bass guitar in number of bands with his friends. CJ started to experiment with electronic music and after Hearing Roni Size’s “Brown Paper Bag” he knew he wanted to write drum and bass. A move to university in 2002 catapulted him deep into the music scene, where he picked up a residency spot along with offers to DJ at the big clubs in Birmingham. This was the summer of Bad Company’s “Shot down on Safari”, J-majik’s remix of Space Invader and DJ Marky’s smash “LK.” and the real roots of CJ’s own style were beginning to take hold. CJ has experimented with both the lighter and darker sides of drum and bass but his sound is currently focused around the more liquid and soulful. 2009 - www.internetdj.com voted CJ styles Artist of the Week describing him as an "Exceptionally talented DnB producer ". 2010 has been a great year with the release of Morning Light on 12' vinyl and tracks being featured on Crissy Criss's 1xtra show, Bassdrive and many other radio stations. 2011 is already shaping up with forthcoming releases on LDNBmusic the long awaited EP on NexGen records.
