Jamz Supernova
Jamz Supernova uses sonics to tell a story. The multi-faceted creative force is a label head, radio host, DJ, podcaster, and true tastemaker, broadcasting for over a decade.
Known for selecting sounds that span musical genres and subcultures, what she enjoys is the intimacy of sharing music with her community over radio. Her award-winning Saturday daytime show on BBC 6 Music is where she sits in as a storyteller, exploring global communities and unearthing exciting scenes through platforming underground music that rarely graces the mainstream.
Outside of radio, Jamz heads up seminal label Future Bounce working in both an A&Ring and consulting capacity. The label’s 5 year anniversary in 2023 ended with a nomination at the DJ Mag Best of British Awards.
Through her vibrant DJ sets, Jamz is a mainstay at festivals and clubs worldwide, spinning an eclectic mix of broken beat, UK funky, Bass, techno and beyond at the likes of We Out Here Festival, Worldwide Sete, All Points East and more.
Having also hosted her own podcast series DIY Handbook & Between The Lines, plus television shows for BBC Three, FOUR & Newsbeat, and music awards ceremonies - including the prestigious Mercury Prize - for Jamz, the possibilities are endless. But Jamz will continue to rise by doing what’s always worked for her – staying true to herself, and to those that resonate with her craft.
