Ifádáhùnsi-Bámigbálà-Arẹ̀sà
aka DJ Junior Star
is a Cleveland, Ohio native and returning resident of the beautiful state of Alabama. A DJ and Sound Artist, Ifádáhùnsi credits his parents for nurturing his interests in music and the arts at an early age.
At the beginning of his percussion training, the early 80′s sound of hip hop swiftly shifted his life into a never-ending quest for beats, rhythms, sounds, and vibrations. He is a lifelong lover and student of music, art, nature, and the many aspects of living a whole and full life.
As a DJ, his inspiration to play professionally dates back to the Run-DMC, early hip hop era and Jam Master Jay, then moves through the mid 1990s to mentor DJ Mazi Jahi's classic Afro-Latin funk parties at the Brillo Pad in Cleveland, Ohio. The discovery of Hip-Hop jazz samples, Afrobeat from Fela Kuti and Tony Allen, and the plethora of sounds from the African diaspora expanded his record-digging tastes for the dancefloors and for experimentation in the recording studio.
Ifádáhùnsi's goal is to continue spreading positive vibrations through the wonders of music and sounds born from Our Mother Continent.
