Born in Guwahati, Assam in India, and raised in the suburbs of Sydney, Jitwam combines jazz, hip-hop and R&B to create something truly electric. After being inspired to start a career in music on his travels around the world, Jitwam’s debut EP, ‘TJD001’, was released in 2013.

His career in music has always felt predestined, the first record he bought - a $2 blank white-label vinyl - turned out to be a Moodymann track, which he later discovered after finding out he would be featured on Moodymann’s DJ Kicks compilation.

Jitwam’s latest album, ‘Third’ dropped on July 22, 2022 and in this project he evokes memories of finding peace within the chaos of daily life. Years in the making, this album was inspired by his time in both London and New York City and has clear influences of soulful house and jazz as well as Latin music, soul, punk, and a lot of disco.

Jitwam is also the co-founder of seminal label The Jazz Diaries, a venture he started to shine a light on artists blurring the lines between electronics and live instrumentation.

Find some peace with Jitwam live at Cross The Tracks 2024, he’s definitely not one to miss.
