Biography for Jeffrey A Townes

Was the part of rap duo "DJ Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince" together with Will Smith, with which he won two Grammies.

He is a legendary Philly Hip-Hop DJ and serious turntablist who has won DJ competitions like the New Music Seminar's 1986 DJ Battle For World Supremacy. Although he never competed in the DMC World Championship competitions, he is in the DMC hall of fame for contributions to the world of Hip-Hop and DJing.

First rap artist (along with Will Smith) to win a Grammy: Category (Best Rap Performance) Title: "Parents Just Don't Understand" (1988).

Jeffrey A. Townes alias Dj Jazzy Jeff is an American hip-hop DJ born January 22, 1965 in Philadelphia. Also a producer, he is better known for his musical career with Will Smith with which he formed the group DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince.

He was born in West Philadelphia in a musical environment where he was able to develop his musical tastes from an early age. Training to mix in the cellars of the family home, he became very known not only for the judicious choices of the songs he spent in the evening but also (especially) for his ability to scratch and his technique. It is then said to be of him that he never makes mistakes. His technique allows him to transform the scratch of dissonant noise to a sound holding the road, almost harmonious.

In 1985, it was the meeting with Will Smith during an evening. The complicity between them was immediate and even more at the artistic level. The following year, they were preparing their first single: Girls Ain’t Nothing Bit trouble and took the name of DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. In 1987, after Jazzy Jeff participated in a seminar having further increased his abilities, they released their first album: Rock The House. There followed a collaboration which continues until 1993 without discontinuous.

Will Smith and Jazzy Jeff did not draw a line between them since they are found in 1999 for the Willenium album by Will Smith. They also release two albums "Best of/Greatest Hits" in 1998 and 2006. They will also be found together on the occasion of Live 8 in Philadelphia.

Jazzy Jeff has a very well stocked solo career with productions in the company of artists such as Tatyana Ali, Lil Kim, Method Man or Michael Jackson. His very special style combines R&B, soul and a touch of jazz without talking about his always growing ability to scratch.

Thanks to his recording studio and his label, he contributes to the renewal of soul music in Philadelphia. In addition, he launched the career of many young artists such as Jill Scott.

He played, from 1991, Will Smith's best friend in the TV series Le Prince de Bel-Air. He camps a young man not very clean, sufficiently casual but oh so endearing. Constantly draguing Will's cousin, Hilary, continually interfering with the banks, he regularly (and literally) is throwing at the door by Uncle Phil.

Jeffrey A Townes is an American actor, producer and musician. He is best known for his role as DJ Jazzy Jeff in the television series "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" alongside Will Smith. Townes was born on January 22, 1965 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He began his musical career by playing hip-hop music with Will Smith in the 1980s. The duo released several albums together and won a Grammy Award for their song "Parents Just Do't Understand" in 1989. In More of his musical career, Townes has also played in several films and television series, notably in the films "Summertime" and "The Five Heartbeats".
