Jax was born to a Turkish father and a Chinese-Malaysian mother.[3] His father gave him the name Timucin. After his Nigerian stepfather introduced him to afrobeat via Fela Kuti and rap with a tape of a Notorious B.I.G. album, Jax listened to hip hop, R&B, gospel and traditional African music.[4] His Malaysian mother was into music ranging from Kylie Minogue to Luther Vandross and also influenced him.[5] Producers like The Neptunes, Timbaland and Rodney Jerkins shaped his musical horizons and his fascination with the anatomy of a rhythm section. Having initially studied classical guitar from a young age, Jax took up beat-making at 15 after discovering Cubase on his friend's Atari.[6] <
