Jonny T (aka Cypresschill) was born in Rugeley in the UK in 1974

At the age of 12, Jonny gravitated to the DJs of the time, and was amazed as they mixed and blended the music into a seamless continuity of harmonics. He knew that a set of turntables was needed if he was to pursue his interest. He witnessed the progression of styles and influences over a number of years, going back to old skool house music of the 80s

His own vinyl soon accumulated into a collection, and was sourced from many UK records shops, such artists included: Tommy Musto, Frankie Bones, Beastie Boys and early Hip Hop.

The underground dance music scene has always been an area of interest and fascination to JT since, and over a period of time the mixing became second nature to him.

Keen to rise up the ranks and build a name for himself, he made the break from bedroom DJ to DJing in the local clubs of the time, the pinnacle being a DJ set at the legendary Quest in Wolverhampton.

“I am keen not to associated with a specific genre of music, I like to read the crowd and keep my sets dynamic, to have a eclectic music collection is the key. I have progressed with the underground scene over a number of years from old skool happy hardcore ’91-’94 thru to my current passion that is Liquid Drum and Bass. My fan base really appreciate the soulful vocals” JT

You can now listen to Jonny T on a regular basis, as he holds a number of weekly slots on the Internet radio scene. Such stations include: www.bassjunkees.com & www.dnbheaven.com

Jonny reflects on his goals of today:

“Life is a little more complex these days trying to balance the work/family and music. Although I have recently started a night called “Resolution” at the Glasshouse In Stourbridge.

It is a partnership between JT Promotions and K3 MC. Our ambition is to grow the promotion into a regular monthly event, aimed at the over 25s as they seem to have more appreciation for the liquid style, though everyone of course is welcome!

I have never lost the momentum and ambition to pursue my goal of involving my son with the scene, to continue the love for the music and be the best that I can be”  JT
