ABOUT JMCX
17 years ago, American producer, JMCX, started producing music inspired by Eurodance and Vocal Trance coming from Europe. His sound is largely influenced by decades of successful club-crossover projects like "Another Night" by Real McCoy, "Everytime We Touch" by Cascada, and many more melodic hits.
JMCX grew up on the US East Coast in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He took an early interest in electronic music keyboards and began music lessons when he was 5 years old. He recalls hearing an electronic dance song as a kid and feeling euphoric unlike anything else. He began listening exclusively to music that sounded like that.
While creating music under the name Mello Dee or Mello-Dee, he gained professional recognition at the age of 15 when he was asked to produce original music for a record company in Toronto, Canada that represented Eurodance and Freestyle artists. A few of his tracks were marketed to Asia-Pacific territories, including the song One Wish with vocalist Amanda, which is the best-selling song on the compilation. After quickly building up an impressive list of releases, he caught the attention of Bay Area record label CAPP Records in early 2007. His first release with the label was a Trance remix of Out Of Time for their artist Rikah. The remix received support from DJ Magazine's Top 100 nomination Roger Shah.
A future in music felt apparent to JMCX. After saving up enough money, he moved across the country to San Francisco, California at 20 years old. His next musical achievement came in 2012 when he co-produced 50 Chillout Tunes, Volume 1. Within the first week of its release, it was an iTunes Top 10 bestseller. Because of its success, Volume 2 was released the following year. His original track, Consciousness, from this compilation, was later chosen for synchronization placements on Keeping Up With The Kardashians. During this time, his style shifted from club-oriented music to music for relaxation and meditation. In 2014, he received certification as a sound healing practitioner from the California Institute of Integral Studies. Over the last 5 or 6 years, he has focused almost exclusively on developing a unique songwriting approach that integrates his understanding of vibration and sound healing.
In 2019, after a few years of public hiatus, he moved back to his hometown in Pennsylvania and began releasing music under the name JMCX. 2020 saw the release of his first Christmas cover song, Toyland, known from the American operetta Babes In Toyland. In 2021 and 2022, he released several singles and two compilation series, 8D Audio Chillout Tunes and 8D Audio Chill House Tunes. Its conception follows a recent trend in 8D music, but with an engineering approach that sets it above most 8D releases today. JMCX will have several releases that showcase his unique talent in 2023.
