Norman Jay

Norman Jay MBE is a pioneering British DJ, born in Notting Hill, London. He first gained recognition in the early 1980s by playing at unlicensed "warehouse" parties, including the renowned Shake 'n' Fingerpop events. Jay's distinctiveness lies in his extensive and eclectic musical knowledge, coupled with a refusal to confine himself to a single genre.

He was a key figure at the London pirate radio station Kiss 100, which he co-managed with Gordon Mac and George Power. Launched in 1990, Norman's show on Kiss 100 quickly became legendary. His association with Gilles Peterson at the Talkin' Loud label further cemented his influence.
