WELCOME TO WAXYJAX.COM
Hi everyone! I'm moderating a Google Talk on the Music Industry and Technology on May 16. If you'd like to know more please hit me up via the contact info provided at the very bottom of this page

...or you can also follow my non-sequitors on twitter

oh and....

hi, i'm Jacky Tran. you may only meet one of us in your life, but you'll encounter many on Google, including this guy. let it be known we're not the same person.

interestingly enough, if you google "amish rave dj," this homepage you're reading now--PLUS my myspace page--does hit at the top of the search results. i'm sure the amish would find this equally unsettling (good thing they won't even know).

other than corrupting youth at rumspringa i'm known to keep myself well-traveled, well-fed, and socially stimulated.

i've even dabbled in music. check out "The Ceasing Now" by Parts & Labor. the band selected samples submitted by their friends (or in my case, friends of friends) and a recording of me clipping my fingernails happened to make the cut (i just noticed the pun and i'm not gonna do anything about it). here's NPR's story on the album and sample concept behind it. my speaking voice has appeared on other tracks by other artists, but i don't like hearing myself speak and will therefore not share any further details here--sorry!

i do many other things--making my own website look pretty is not one of them.

my latest project is developing my own production company--Quiz Bowl Productions. the site is under construction, but i am actually working on making it look nice

here's what i've done for other people though:

and i'm also not afraid to teeter on the fringes of the law for a good production...here are some highlights:

my more carefully-crafted words can be found in a handful of listings in the Paris Section of the BlackBook List: Jet Set Edition 2007 The Best of Europe and in Trashmenagerie.com

...i feel closer to you already.
keep in touch
