Jackal is one of electronic music's most dynamic producers. In less than two years, he has released nearly a dozen tracks and branded himself as a forward thinking trap mastermind. His career erupted in 2013 with the success of "Shakedown," a heave beat-dropping original track with crunchy snares and 808s. Almost instantly, the record got picked up by LOUDPVCK, whose uptempo remix hyped its way to being featured in under the electric sky. Today the song has now reached over 1.5 million plays on SoundCloud. Growing up in England, Jackal started to make music when he was just a kid. As a teenager he listened to mainly heavy metal, but around the age of 18 started exploring drum and bass. This ultimately led him to study music technology at the University of Canterbury where he began producing signature punchy rhythms. The rise of Skrillex in 2011 inspired Jackal to start making music full-time. He holed up in his room and locked the door, only to emerge later as a seasoned producer with a sound loud enough to be heard around the world.
