Born in East London, Tailor grew up with 4 other siblings, in a small area in Newham. She never grew up with ambitions of being in the music industry but after receiving an ipod as a present for her birthday and access to limewire , all that would change. Finding tracks and showing them off to friends at house parties would soon turn into secretly teaching herself how to DJ on a £50 controller. Although having siblings who dabbled in MCing, Tailor never thought the lingering of pirate radio shows – her brother would play in the room they all shared, would somehow come back to be a part of her future story.

Self taught with a lust for dark heavy basses is what has now become her catalyst. Creating experiences where you have no idea what she’ll play, or how she’ll play it. With a raw approach to mixing she’s not afraid to experiment on the decks as she shows with her various online CDJ tricks. Not one to fit in but one to stand out, not afraid to make mistakes, no risk no reward mentality. Regardless of what Tailor takes on, be sure to know that it’ll be exciting. Famed for quick mixes, and high energy sets. She coins herself as “Genreless at heart, heavy on the bass” Her unique approach to djing has seen her sought after to lead various workshops with brands such as Saffron and Keep Hush.

Tailor Jae

Her career really took off after she beat over 2000 djs to be claimed the winner of a Mixmag DJ competition and has continued to grow from there, with her efforts rewarding her a Scholarship at Pointblank music school.
She began collaborating and had her first release signed to LCY’s label SZN7N alongside duo Traces and has had numerous features on platforms such as : BBC, Rinse FM, Rinse France, Reprezent, Kiss FM, Mixmag Lab, Foundation FM, Pioneer DJ Radio,NTS, Cashmere Radio (Berlin), Selector Radio, KeepHush, Resident Advisor, Boileroom, Hor, Complex, Trench, Wonderland Mag and more.

Naturally her unique skills caught the attention of veterans such as Toddla T, DJ Target and Nick Bright with whom she recorded guest mixes for respectfully on BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra.
As her style continued to develop she displayed her lust for boundless rhythms in her mix for Berlin’s Inverted Audio which was consequently picked as Resident Advisor’s mix of the day who described it as “a history through the lens of Today” Tailor then went on to record an RA podcast shortly after which was noted as a stand out mix for its approach to rule breaking, genre bending and seamlessness.

She was rightfully highlighted in DJ Mag’s selection of ones to watch 2021 and nominated for the breakthrough dj award, leading her to be sought after on prestigious line ups at the likes of Fabric, Leeds Festival, Boiler Room and more.
After opening for them in Ibiza, Tailor Jae was specifically selected by Chase and Status to open proceedings for the launch of their new album, What Came Before, with rave reviews at Koko Camden and thereafter at their sold out Outernet event.
Continuing her trajectory- recording several more guest mixes on BBC, releasing her first debut solo track with it gaining support from Mary Anne Hobbs (BBC 6 Music) – receiving New Music Future Track of the day, and extensive play on several other BBC Radio 1 shows and other radio networks.

With an infectious Boiler Room set doing the rounds online, Tailor has been expanding her sound throughout Europe playing at notable venues such as Paradiso Amsterdam. With the launch of her new brand extension Heavy On The Bass (HOTB) Tailor looks to expand into merch and curation. A dj who never seems to not go viral, it’s no wonder she is noted as a London favourite not only amongst music brands but also notable fashion brands such as Armani Exchange, Farfetch, Crenshaw Skate Club and more.
