the team:
part one
'Adam Rock' Moses - project management:
Adam's musical influences ranged from Gospel to Calypso to Jazz, amassing a huge eclectic record collection. The art of dj'ing was ground into him by the cut and scratch dj's of the early Hop-Hop era, spending all his spare time practicing. Adam then added production skills to his CV, focusing on the new sounds of Hip-Hop, fusion and brokenbeat. His ever growing love of jazz spurned him to start Jazzre:freshed with fellow jazz aficionado and Uprock member Justin Mckenzie. Adam's passionate commitment to Jazzre:freshed is the heartbeat of the movement.
Justin 'TopRock' Mckenzie - creative direction
Coming from a musical background and playing instruments since the age of four, Justin's music appreciation is far-reaching and eclectic; from Classical to Jazz to Hip-Hop to Rock. Having a passion for sharing good music, dj'ing was the perfect outlet. Always seeking to extend his musical reach, more recently, Justin has specialised in music from Latin America and the Caribbean. However, it's the sheer raw creativity of jazz music, that captivates Justin's heart and imagination. An Illustrator/Graphic Artist by trade, it was inevitable, that given the creative energy in Jazzre:freshed, Justin would make certain that art and visuality would be central to its philosophy and identity.
