DJ Jack Music Producer: Combining Albanian beats in a modern way

February 26, 2021 • Leonita • Season 1 • Episode 17

DJ Jack, also known as Gjoka Nikac, was born and grew up in Queens, New York. His parents are Albanian and moved to Montenegro and then to New York at a young age.

He loves the Albanian culture and family is very important to him. He is married with 2 kids, and has a passion for music. He loved listening to old school Albanian music that his parents would play, but felt the beats could be updated and would make remixes of Albanian songs in a fresh upbeat way. He got his first gig as a DJ when he was 15, and has been pursuing music since. He has made some amazing remixes like the Latina Cifteli remix with jurgen.pecnikaj, and has produced so many others. As well as producing original music with the "Red and Black Cypher" . He wants to keep making original beats and has some productions coming soon. He has a comedic side too, and is making us laugh with his tik tok and reel clips on being Albanian. He goes into being in music industry, social media, and the support we need from each other for the Albanian community to make it to the top. Take a listen and get motivated with lots of insight and great advice.
