Known to the world as ZJ LIQUID, Michael Brissett is a real-life success story. Born in Montego Bay, Jamaica, young Liquid started off his career playing at house parties, before transforming himself into one of the most heavily demanded DJs in the Caribbean region and overseas. Today, Liquid is known for his work with ZIP 103 FM, “Jamaica’s Party Station” synonymous with playing the newest hits. He can be credited for making ZIP FM the hottest station in Jamaica, through his unique and innovative methods of captivating his audience, by creating different themes, show ideas, and creating slangs like “Yu zee it”.

While attending Cornwall College in Montego Bay, Jamaica, Liquid’s interest in music piqued. With popular entertainment spot Pier One at his disposal, he experimented with all genres of music, and started playing at the venue on Friday nights. This experience exposed him to all musical genres based on the diversity of the audience- “You have a lot of tourists, so you can’t just go there and play dancehall, you have to be able to cater to your audience which in this case although appreciated authentic Jamaican music, still wanted familiarity through hip hop, R&B, alternative pop and Soca” he pointed out.
