Jaba Jesus “Snowleopard” is a music producer originating from Nairobi, Kenya. He recently moved to Berlin where he studied the club scene thoroughly with fellow Kenyan emigre Alai K and was inspired to produce music combining the hard Techno of Berlin night life combined with the popular music and traditional ethnic rhythms of Kenya where he was born.
Under the mentorship of traditional and electronic Kenyan artists JJ has transcended far beyond the ubiquitous sampling of tribal chants with electronic beats and has attempted to create structures distinctive to African music within identifiable electronic music formats. In 2021 he released his debut album "Jaba City" which is a tribute to the city he grew up in and to the energy and creative genius of contemporary Kenyan music like Gengetone and early recorded music like Mugīthi.
