DJ bl_nk - Jay Hershberger is the founder and owner of JamTown Music. A very well respected and knowledgeable individual in the areas of music and sound with over 17 years experience in the DJ, Live Sound and studio recording businesses. During that time, Jay gained a wealth of knowledge and real world experience that no educational institution could ever have given him. He has worked private parties and clubs since the age of 18.
HISTORY - Jay was born in Heidelberg, Germany and imported into the U.S. before he could speak. He was raised in Northern Indiana, growing up in the city of Elkhart. During his high school years, Jay acted upon his love of music and began spinning records at several local nightclubs learning from and collaborating with some of Chicago's finest DJs. Needing a new direction in his life, Jay joined the U.S. Navy, serving his country as a Cryptologic Technician. While serving in the state of Hawaii, he continued his music education and produced dance tracks and club mixes in his home studio and on his PC. He attended the University of Nevada at Las Vegas pursuing a degree in the field of Architecture. Drawn once again by the lure of the music, Jay joined with Las Vegas based Karmageddon Records, an independent music label and media company, allowing him to work with some of the most talented and up-and-coming musicians, bands and entertainers in the world. It was there that he learned the art of live sound and studio production.
Several years later, Jay has returned to the state of Indiana and his love and passion for the music industry has not waivered. He started this company for one reason only - he loves music. He loves making people's dreams a reality. The combination of those two attributes equals an event you will never forget. His personal philosophy is that it's your event, not his. He will do everything in his power to make your event just as you imagined and just as unique as you are.
