electronic music and
urban music. His
BBC Radio 1Xtra show was broadcast Monday to Thursday between 7pm – 10pm.

MistaJam also featured on a track with
Knife Party in 2012, named "Sleaze" which contains MistaJam singing "until they kick us out, until they kick us out, until they kick us out, people move your feet" with audio effects applied to his voice. Since the end of 2015, he has also been hosting his show on
