DJ Kross

about

Born and raised in Davis, CA DJ Kross was introduced to jazz and classical music as an infant, initially inspired by pianists from Moz art to Dave Brubeck.

Kross finally discovered Jazzhop one day when he was exploring music on youtube and found Nujabes. In love with not just the emotional and deep chord changes, but also the general attitude of enjoying music rather than hating, Kross began to
