RJD2

RJD2, whose real name is Ramble John "RJ" Krohn, is an American musician, DJ, and producer renowned for his engaging and eclectic style that merges elements of hip hop, electronica, and soul. Born on May 27, 1976, he burst onto the scene in the early 2000s with his distinctive blend of instrumental hip hop and became widely known for his ability to craft atmospheric and complex soundscapes. His 2002 debut album "Deadringer" was a critical success, setting the tone for a career characterized by innovation and a willingness to push the boundaries of genre.

Over the years, RJD2 has amassed an impressive discography that showcases his versatility and evolution as an artist, including albums like "Since We Last Spoke" and "The Third Hand," which further refined his layered, sample-heavy approach to production. However, it's not just in the studio where RJD2 has left his mark; he is also admired for his dynamic live performances, where he often mans turntables, samplers, and keyboards simultaneously. With his more recent releases such as "The Fun Ones" and "20 Grand Palace," RJD2 continues to demonstrate a restless creative spirit and the ability to stay relevant in an ever-changing musical landscape. His tracks like "Lift Me Up (Rework)" and the soulful "Escape from Sweet Auburn" provide fresh material for longtime fans and new listeners alike, while his remixes like "So Caught Up (RJD2 Remix)" show his continuous knack for reimagining works through his distinct sonic lens.
