J to the C, (spoken: Jay Cee), is Jonas Casier, born aquarius 1980 in Roeselare (Belgium). Playing at home with a microkorg, a simple drumset, a microphone, a set of turntables and a funky mind resulted in making songs of his own.

Starting out as a hiphop dj together with Alex Deforce, he got eager to train his scratching-skills on the two turntables. Playing music intensively got him to singing along with it, so he did in several jamsessions at de Kreun (Bissegem, BE) in 2002, with artists such as Peter Lesage, Karel De Backer and Yannick Uyttenhove.

All that cutting and scratching resulted him joining DJ Grazzhoppa’s DJ Bigband in 2005, and later on got him featured on two tracks on Billy Palmier‘s debut album Urban Palmtree Flavours.

During the jamsessions of the dj bigband, he got the chance to jam along artist such as Jef Neve, Fabrizio Cassol, Michel Hatzigeorgiou, Stéphane Galland, AKA Moon, Stijn, Laila Amezian, Laurent Blondieu, Frederik Heirman, Nicolas Kummert, Erwin Vann,  Monique Harcum, Bart Maris, and many, many others, and playing in countries all over Europe with the DJ Bigband, on festivals such as Roskilde (DK), Lowlands (NL), Jazz Middelheim (BE) and many others.

Singing “Never Satisfied” over Billy Cobham’s classic “Heather” on his myspace, got him a track on the Kid Sublime album “Rappin Blak“. Starting his own funky formation called the Bad Mothas in 2008, starring members of Brothers On The Run, doing impressive all-night-long type of jams, resulting in catchy shit, funky shit. The shiznit, if you wish.

Meeting up with Incksalonious from Brooklyn in 2009, after she gets in the studio with Jay Cee in Kortrijk, it gets him going to NYC, to do a  gig with her in Brooklyn, New York !!!

Next to all of that, JtotheC is still touring through-out the Belgian massive as one half of dj duo Vic&lloyd, together with long-time compadre Alex D. tearing roofs off and blowing up spots and afterparties throughout the country.

2009 saw JtotheC stepping his game up, putting the ‘A Man And His Funk‘ demo ep online, alongside a mini-documentary on On-Point TV, hitting stages with the Bad Mothas in a tight live setting, accompanied by the king of visuals Gunter Blokken, aka Eckelwood.
