James Weston,best known as Dj Swiss was born in November 1984 in Miami Florida. At age four his family moved a few hours north, to Palm Beach County, FL. Labeled a troubled kid,Dj Swiss was sent to be disciplined by his grandmother in Delray Beach, Florida at age seven. Shortly after, when he was ten years old, he took up what would be his pass-time until his senior year of high school-playing the piano. Although predominantly driven by classical music, DJ Swiss began to listen to a few Hip-Hop artists that his older brothers were always playing. Sometimes he would even sneak into his brother’s room to borrow a cassette or two from their selection. Suddenly, his senior year, his interests changed. Dj Swiss gave up piano and tried rapping, but was soon discouraged. He eventually went back to piano to continue molding his musical skills. Shortly after, fascinated by the lyrics of an underground artist, Dj Swiss acquired a copy of a mix-tape and started experimenting with lyrics of his own. First he started with Christian rap like most of his cousins but later opened up to other secular genres such as: life in the hood, survival, relationships, and, of course, beautiful ladies. DJ Swiss began to perform at small events and later major concerts, along with three of his cousins. Together, they formed the multi-talented group ‘SJ’, a hip-hop and R&B band that later added a flavor of reggae when Masta Recka joined the group in 2008. Dj Swiss continues to use his life experiences and rooted musical inspirations to create his own music and never ceases to surprise listeners with insightful, creative and precise lyrics and rhymes schemes.
