BORN AND RAISED ON THE MEAN STREETS OF CROWTHORNE, D-JHEPZ, AKA JORDAN HEPPELL, STARTED HIS MUSICAL JOURNEY WHEN HE WAS 10, WHEN HE WAS GIVEN A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT BY HIS DRUG DEALER. IT WAS AT THIS MOMENT THAT JORDAN HEPPELL KNEW HE WANTED TO BE PART OF 'THE SCENE'.
HE FIRST BECAME INTERESTED IN THE ELECTRONIC MUSIC SCENE IN 2001. IN 2005, AGED 14, HIS MUM AND DAD BOUGHT HIM HIS FIRST SET OF DECKS. AT THE AGE OF 17, HE WAS ALREADY BEING TOUTED AS CROWTHORNE'S ANSWER TO ANDY C. HE DID VARIOUS WARM UP SETS BEFORE THE DOORS OPENED IN CLUBS HOSTING MAJOR NAMES SUCH AS ANDY C, RONI SIZE, NOISIA, AND MANY MORE. IN 2010, HE ACHIEVED HIS BIG BREAK WHEN D-JHEPZ REALISED HE WAS BIG IN THE GAME. IT WAS AFTER THIS POINT WHEN HE STARTED GETTING GIGS AT BIG EVENTS SUCH AS BASSWORX AND HERITAGE.
AFTER RECEIVING SEVERAL OFFERS, D-JHEPZ JOINED NONE, WHO HELPED DISTRIBUTE HIS FIRST INTERNET RELEASE, 'NONE' IN 2011. THOUGH THE SINGLE DIDN'T SELL AS MANY AS HE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE LIKED, D-JHEPZ IS A FIGHTER AND SINCE 2012 HAS BEEN LOCKED IN THE STUDIO PERFECTING HIS CRAFT.
SUFFICE TO SAY, THE DRUM AND BASS SCENE SHOULD BE EXPECTING BIG THINGS FROM D-JHEPZ IN 2013.
