My love of music of all kinds was influenced by people very dear to me...my grandfather, my uncles, and my mom. They all played their part in helping me find bits and pieces from many different genres that I could connect to and enjoy. Through the years I have gone from Willie Nelson, Crystal Gayle to Bryan Adams, TOTO, The Eagles, AC/DC, Def Leppard, Buck Cherry, Nickelback, Hinder, Hank Williams, George Strait and of course the Great Chris LeDoux (just to mention a few). Although I love good solid Rock N Roll, Country has always been at the heart of things for me. One artist in particular really struck a chord....

Chris LeDoux was about as down to earth, genuine, sincere and solid as a man comes. I have been asked many times why I "idolize" him and my response is simple - I Don't. I respect what he did and how he did it. I respect the way he held true to his roots for better or worse. His music was about the simple life of a real cowboy in an era where he possibly was one of the "Last of a Dyin' Breed". He didn't sing about cheating and most of his songs put a smile on your face when you were down. There was nothing more soothing and peaceful than listening to "Powder River Home" or "Western Skies" as you sat around the campfire with your friends and family on a deer hunt in

the high Uintah Mountains just East of Heber City, Utah. He had a tremendous influence on me so the music I choose to write and record I can only hope reflects that.

I have tried my hand at many different parts of the music industry - producing, arranging, writing, engineering, promoting, booking, but nothing can compare to the feeling of performing live and connecting with friends who feel the way you do about things. One of the biggest thrills I have ever experienced was the first time I looked down and saw a grinning face singing along with every word of a song that I had written and was performing, I lost my place and totally forgot my lyrics - WHAT A RUSH!

I've had the opportunity to share the stage with some of the great names in country music including: Toby Keith, Miranda Lambert, Diamond Rio, Sawyer Brown, Restless Heart, Phil Vassar, Deanna Carter, Little Texas, Gary Allan, The Little River Band, Brian White, Earl Thomas Conley, Highway 101, Ryan Shuppe, .38 Special to name a few. It has been a good ride so far.

After some serious time off I'm beyond excited to be back at it working on the new Project "Black & Blue" and I can't wait to reveal some of the new material!

Best Wishes,

J.

I am similar to a flightless dodo, as the dodo can't fly neither can I maybe its because of the way my wings are shaped, or the shape of my body, or the inner firings of the individual neurons in my mind. I believe it's because our mind tells us that we can't. What if a dodo tried to fly instead of being in a predetermined state of mind that it can't fly? I want to fly away to a place where I choose the rules. A place where I can play god for a second. A place where botox and powder on a face doesn't make it anymore beautiful than the sheer beauty of bareness. As the dodo looks across to another island with others, it wonders if there are any other dodo's looking back at it, but in reality no other dodo's are looking for a way to fly to another island because all they care about is their small world where survival and the protection of species prioritizes all, they know they can't fly therefore never try. When we turn our backs on things like bullying, and unspeakable acts by countries, it makes me wonder if I am actually the dodo that is looking at the other island, or the selfish dodo looking at its food.

Ever since hearing the song ‘Strange World (2000 Remake)’ by Push back in ‘07, Yuri knew where his destiny lied; behind two CDJ’s and mixer, in front of a lively audience. His humble beginnings of mixing on a computer program with no audio controller began to bear fruit and soon he was recording mixes that made people take notice. With some help and guiding words by one of Trinidad & Tobago’s forefront E.D.M. DJ’s, digit@l buddha, Yuri gained experience on a midi controller and learnt the fundamentals of djing and soon enough, the young ‘padawan’ was at home in front of crowd.' His style covers a range of E.D.M. genres; Tech Trance, Progressive House and Minimal Tech. 

Over the past 6 months, Yuri has been working the local E.D.M. scene and is an active part of the awakening EDM movement in Trinidad & Tobago, and the Caribbean by extension. With influences like Paul Van Dyk, Cosmic Gate, Markus Schulz, Matt Darey and Gareth Emery, Yuri is following the path of the DJ/Producer. With his mind set on playing for larger audiences, producing his own material and working with other outstanding artistes, Yuri is headed towards a bright future that is as limitless as the sky.
