J-JD
Born into an Angolan-Congolese family, he followed his vocation for music at an early age and performed at numerous singing competitions. Originally active as a songwriter and singer, he later discovered his passion for music production and founded the producer duo “OMG Whatabeat” with Wombeats in 2019. Despite his success as a producer, J-JD pursued the desire to make his own music. After a creative break, he began releasing his own songs again and travelled to the Congo to visually realise his artistic vision. In May 2024, he released his first official EP “Jericho”, which combines Amapiano and Afrobeat influences.
Afterwards: Screening of the jury prize winning film
