JAXXMA is comprised of three talented Producers/Rappers Rony Jackson aka Dj Rone Jaxx, Majid Faris aka Majician and Mohammed Darwish aka Gene Clash. Their official Disc Jockey is Dj Shero, also an R&B vocalist who featured on some of their tracks. The music journey started way back into time from when Rone was shaping the hip hop scene in Dubai during the early 90’s. Dj’ing and making mix tapes along side different artists (L.V, S.K.A., Pavan, Mc Moves, Gladihater etc...) music was a passion he pursued. By 2000 Rone met up with Majician and formed a hip hop group called “JAXXMA”. They then both worked with different talents locally and internationally and started making their demo tapes. Meanwhile Majician was already working with Gene Clash who was then introduced to Rone which then lead to the transformation of “JAXXMA” into a musical power house. The group then decided to focus their talents into making their own album “My City”. Their album features talented artists from not only Dubai, but all over the world. Two of their tracks (Here I come & No Heaven) recently reached number 1 and 2 spots on Broadjam.com’s Asian Charts and ranked number 4 on Broadjam’s International charts. One hit that has been heard across the UAE is, 'Can't Get Her', featuring Hamdan, which was a regular jam on National Radio 1 and reached the number one spot on Dj Danny Neville's number one song produced in Dubai. They also have received air play on BBC 1 Extras UPTOWN ANTHEMS hosted by Dj Ronnie Herel and KISS 100’s Blitz Power Mix hosted by Dj Shortee Blitz. Another track 'No more Love’ received much air play in the UK, but has not yet hit the UAE stations due to it’s controversial lyrics. That was just a test run that showed the groups potential. Their Album was anticipated to come out by late 2006 but due to the groups busy working schedule it’s now coming out by mid 2007. They recently opened up for Montell Jordan at the Mix at Grand Hyatt Dubai and for JOE @ chi @ the lodge. The shows received great feed back and were a huge success. These three inspirational young men each have there own trade mark style of production and rapping, becoming one of the first official Hip Hop R&B crew in Dubai to break through internationally with global air play and collaborations.
