Born and raised in Hudson County, New Jersey, and proud of his Ecuadorian roots, Christian Jae’s story behind the decks started long before he ever stepped foot in a club. At just ten years old, he fell in love with hip-hop, buying mixtapes from Astor Place in New York City and studying how DJs brought tracks to life through scratches, blends, and creative transitions.

Influenced by legends like DJ First Klass, DJ Dirty Harry, DJ Juice, Kid Capri, and Tony Touch, Christian gravitated toward the technical side of DJing. His passion really took off the day he watched DJ Develop cutting it up at a record shop in Union City—a moment that turned curiosity into obsession.

By twelve, he was already building his vinyl collection with lunch money, spending every Friday at the record store. When he discovered his cousin’s setup—a pair of Technics 1200s and a mixer—he finally had a way to practice what he’d been studying. By fifteen, he was DJing his high school dance, and soon after, spinning birthdays and local parties. By sixteen, he was sneaking into legendary NYC clubs like Exit, The Tunnel, and Speed, soaking up the atmosphere that would shape his career. At eighteen, he landed his first official club gig—at Speed NYC, the same venue that once inspired him.

That early hustle and love for the craft built the foundation for what became a career spanning some of the top venues in New York and Miami. Over the years, Christian has played at iconic spots like Tao Downtown, Marquee, Pachita, Slate, Gansevoort Rooftop, and Copacabana, earning a reputation for clean transitions, high-energy sets, and an unmatched ability to read the crowd.

Since moving to Miami in 2017, Christian has become a fixture in the city’s nightlife, bringing his East Coast roots and technical edge to every room he plays. Whether it’s a packed nightclub, a rooftop session, or a private event, his sets deliver a balance of skill, energy, and flow that keeps the night alive.

With monthly residencies in New York and a strong presence across Miami, Christian Jae continues to evolve—always representing where he came from, and always pushing the vibe forward.
