Jojoflores is famous for his Garage, Deep
House and Afro-Latin rhythms. His signature sound resonates
sweet, soulful melodies and a profound jazzy vibe. An original
B-Boy and a fan of street & dance culture, he is blessed
with the versatility to play old school Hip Hop, Funk, and
Soul from the early 80’s.
After 24 years of devotion to the underground
music industry, he was awarded New York City’s Best
International DJ 3 years in a row [2002, 2003 & 2004]
by Undaground Archives. Jojoflores’ hometown recognized
the boundlessness of his skills with Montreal’s 1998
Best Club DJ Sounds of Blackness Award and has been rated

in a row. CEO and A&R of Gotsoul Recordings, jojoflores
is one of Canada’s leading ambassadors for soulful
music. Gotsoul was recently awarded Montreal’s number

success is a simple ricochet effect: the love and support
he receives keeps him going strong. jojoflores keeps the
vibe alive with determination, passion, and the upstanding
mission to touch the heart of the ones who love music as
much as he does. In times of war, disarray and disillusion,

the globe, re-ignites our purpose and our reason. His sound
is now.
