The Jivin Scientists are truly taking the science of music and jiving it. With musicals roots ranging from Classic Rock, Funk, and Soul to the heavy beat-laden sounds of early Hip Hop, JS is making their presence known all over the Southwest, and even more so in the their present hometown of Tucson, Arizona.

James Owens (aka Runt) is the man behind the microphone as the voice of the group.

With the support of their growing fan base, family, and friends, Runt, Deeko, Phen, and Chase Crusher are bringing the Jivin Scientists to a whole new level of hip-hop stardom. Their story started nearly ten years ago after Deeko graduated high school in Gallup, New Mexico. At the instant he was introduced to turntables, Deeko knew that he had found his calling as a DJ. With influences such as Wu-Tang, Lords of The Underground, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, and Gang Starr, his growing passion pushed him to own his first pair of Technics SL1200MKII, in addition to other production equipment. Soon after realizing that Runt had found his own knack on the mic, the Owens brothers and their friends started a mobile DJ service
