His tireless desire to spread joy through music compels him to perform a magical, hard-hitting style that inspires dance floor partiers to push their limits. No two performances are alike and that's proven each time JELO hits the mixer. In Venues or Festivals, big or small, the sensation is always a full blown spectacle. Since the inception of JELO, clubs & parties across the globe have taken a cue from his incorporation of the spiciest elements of Electro House, Progressive, Techno, Trap, Glitch and Rock blended with wild mixing abilities.

JELOs productions rock floors, cars and mp3 players worldwide and his music has been played by DJs like Pete Tong, Umek, Gareth Emery, Moguai, Kill The Noise, Bad Boy Bill, Morgan Page, Matt Zo, Above and Beyond, Funkagenda, Donald Glaude, DJ Dan and more. Many of Canada's top dance music producers chose to collaborate with JELO, because he has the exact notion of what moves dance floors. Some of these collaborations brought forth certified anthems such as "The Reward is Cheese", a collab with deadmau5, which became a bonafide #1 hit on beatport.com and an Electro-House anthem the world round. A secondary track with deadmau5 "Cat on a leash" was used for promotions on beatport and became one of the most downloaded free tracks ever on the site.
