Who Is DJ Kurt Riley?

Kurt Riley, [is] the son of the legendary record producer, singer and songwriter, the late, great Mr “Winston Riley” of Techniques Records, who produced the iconic track “Bam Bam” by Sister Nancy on the “Stalag” rhythm (now the most sampled reggae song of all time). Kurt is a graduate of The Kingston College, but his passion and love for music, always a forethought  resulted in his decision to become a Radio Disc Jockey and follow in his father’s footsteps becoming a record producer, resulting in his  production of his first urban hit record “Stamina Daddy” (which he co-wrote with and performed by Buju Banton). Kurt realised that this was a no-brainer as he had a natural aptitude for it and has been working at it since. He has over 16 years of working in Radio; first for Fame 95Fm and currently for The Bridge 99Fm.

Some of Kurt's most  notable accomplishments to date are  producing the global hit "Gyal You a Party Animal”, which went diamond in 2016, selling over 10 million copies worldwide, 90 million views on YouTube and has attained  recognition in the Caribbean and Central America.  He was voted ‘Best International DJ’ for 2021 by the Jamaica International Music awards (JIMA).

Kurt is also International recording Artiste (The King of Dancehall) Beenie Man’s  Official DJ and was apart of the Versus Battle between Beenie Man and Bounty Killer in 2020. This has also afforded him the opportunity to share the stage at Afro Nation in Portugal with Beenie Man, Popcaan, Shenseea, Chris Brown, Wiz Kid, Burna Boy and many other artistes and producers.

Kurt, always looking to improve, craft and hone his skills, moves to the next chapter with the production of his event Jambian Music Festival, which he believes is the new home for global music, where fusion lives.
