Jay Rufus has been tearing up the electronic music scene for 10 solid years, working his way up from house parties to underground raves to historic and monumental clubs.
Being a jazz trumpet player for almost 20 years, Rufus incorporates elements of jazz and bebop style into his live shows, often called "one of the most entertaining live DJ's on stage". One of his favorite traits is playing the Trumpet live over his records, during the mix, or soloing over tracks. His specialty is the art of the break beat, from Old school to Nuskool, however, he is extremely well-versed in the ways of DuB Step, Electro and Funky House, Hip Hop/D&B, Jazz, Trance, Bebop, 70's, 80's, 90's, as well as cutting and scratching REAL Hip Hop: REAL MUSIC.
Rufus has performed at just about every single club in his native home Tulsa, as well as performances in Arkansas, Missouri, Texas, Kansas, and in 2007 became the first CTP member to play internationally, spinning sets at the world famous El Cid Resort in Mexico. Rufus spun and played trumpet at the famous Stellar Spark 7 with Dj Qbert and Benny Benassi, among many other Djs for the NYE show in Milwaukee 2009-10... Rufus is "always down to battle, record, or jam". He has held down multiple residencies, has done work with numerous bands and MC's, and has been working as a part of the dynamic duo '2 DuB Breaks' in Kansas City to explore the world of music, and to eventually take over the
world!!!!
