Punjabi-Dutch DJ, broadcaster and influencer innovating global dance music
  • ven. 15 août

Considered by many as being at the forefront of her own movement, Jyoty has become a trailblazer in dance music globally. From her beginnings in radio; now eight years on London’s Rinse FM, to headlining festivals and hosting sold-out stages around the world, Jyoty’s inimitable skill as a DJ, musical selector, curator, and interviewer has won her a following worldwide. 

The Amsterdam-born, London-based DJ's rise to becoming one of the underground's most loved figures is a story of sheer dedication. Her introduction came through online channel Boiler Room, where her personality managing the door at events landed her a spot hosting shows for the burgeoning platform. A regular spot on the world-renowned radio station Rinse FM soon followed, where her knack for discovering new music and ability to connect with guests shone through, quickly racking up regular listeners from all over the globe in their thousands. As a born grafter, when she isn't selling out headline shows the world over at venues such as London’s KOKO, Amsterdam’s Paradiso, and Barcelona’s Razzmatazz, as well as hosting her very own stages at Glastonbury Festival, and headlining other festivals globally, Jyoty is dedicated to using her platform to give back to communities. In a nod to her Indian heritage, she has hosted DJ workshops for women in Calcutta alongside the British Council, and taught a six-week course for young British Asian women looking to break into the music industry. Of these experiences, she says: "Passing on knowledge and experience is key to making a real change in music.” 

In just a few years, Jyoty has become a force in the industry in her own right. From the release of her first remix to sold-out headline tours in Europe, Australia, and North America, to being requested by the likes of Burberry, Jacquemus, GANNI, and Prada to lead various musical experiences, Jyoty is proving herself as someone who is showing no signs of slowing down, and most definitely doesn’t wish to be seen as any one particular thing. Jyoty is here to represent good music and isn’t limiting how she does that.
