Today on Adeptus On-Air host Mike Hoffman chats with Jason Brown, an American born international DJ, producer, entrepreneur, and the grandson of James Brown. Jason shares how his path into music was not direct, beginning with a degree in film production and work on the James Brown biopic before feeling called to pick up DJ decks instead of a camera. He reflects on the surreal experience of watching his grandfather’s life recreated on screen and learning firsthand how entertainment is both art and business. He explains why he views James Brown not just as the Godfather of Soul, but as the most sampled artist in music history, and why keeping that influence alive for new generations matters deeply to him. He discusses remixing classic tracks into electronic formats, building desert music festivals during the pandemic, and expanding the brand through education and family led initiatives. He shares how lessons about ownership, respect, and hard work shaped his outlook and continue to guide how he manages the legacy. Tune in to hear more about blending funk with the future, navigating family legacy in the music business, and what it means to carry a historic name with intention.
