In high school and college, he found interest in breaking and became a BBoy “Break Dance” member of SIU crew and Funk Delivery crew. With his interest in the dancing aspect of Hip Hop, he was bound to fall in love with the music and DJing as well. Eventually, he was given the name DJ Jervyjerv.

Some of his recent events he has provided the music for are; Bluesfest with The Flava Factory, House of PainT various times and multiple occasions at Th3rd Fridays as he is a frequent featured artist.

Aside from Ottawa, Jervin has also created a reputable name for himself as a Hip Hop DJ in various cities such as Montreal and Toronto. As a dancer himself, he understands the culture behind the events he participates in and believes in passing the knowledge to the next generation. On a competitive aspect, Jervin also loves the art of scratching and has competed in various Ottawa DJ events and has placed in 3rd. Today, Jervin continues to provide the music for many local events & wishes to help the Ottawa Street Dance Community.

In May and June, House of PainT hosted free concerts and dance battles across different Ottawa neighbourhoods featuring up-and-coming musicians, dancers, and poets. The events brought local talent, music, and art directly to communities across the Ottawa-Gatineau area and took art back to the street.
