Born and raised in exotic Trinidad, Juan Cezar brought his native musical influences with him to the city of Atlanta in 1986. Here, he penned his own music almost daily, eventually getting the attention of a well-known DJ at Backstreet, a premier Atlanta party destination in the 80s and 90s. Backstreet DJ Bill Berdeaux mixed Juan’s song, “In My Eyes”, into a certified prime-time, highly requested dance number. 

From there, Juan was recruited by Atlanta’s iconic drag queen, Charlie Brown, to sing live in his internationally acclaimed “Charlie Brown’s Cabaret”. Juan’s success with this show awakened his passion for live performance, leading him to create his own show, “Spotlight”, which showcased local talent. “Spotlight” ran for seven years and cemented his role in the Atlanta music scene. 

Since then, Juan has been writing and recording his music at his home studio in Atlanta. In 2007, his song “Cross The Line” was featured in the first episode of Season 3 of Dante’s Cove. Juan’s full dance CD, “Letting Go” was released September 2008 featuring special appearances by some of Atlanta’s top vocalists like Sonia Leigh and Xanna Don’t.

In 2010, Juan collaborated with his new band, “The Sex Kittens”, where he teamed up with local musicians Chuck Brittain - lead singer and guitarist of Flat Cat, Amber Taylor - lead singer and guitarist of The Sexual Side Effects, and Clay McClure - drummer for both Flat Cat and The Sexual Side Effects. This supergroup performed at places like Bellissima and Savannah Pride 2010. In January 2011 “The Sex Kittens” played their final show together as they moved on to focus on their other projects.

Never content to remain stagnant Juan reinvented himself as the synthpop duo Frisky Monkey along with keyboard/guitarist/songwriter John Miklaucic. Their self-titled debut album was released September 7, 2011 and their sophomore "Involved But Not Committed" on March 5, 2013. 

Together they bring a heady blend of swirling synths, crunchy guitars and entrancing vocals with a pop sensibility to the electronic music landscape.
