With a love for the art of djing and music production, JT Donaldson got his start in Dallas back in the mid 90’s. Inspired by the house sounds of Chicago, Detroit and New York, he began collecting records, djing, and learning all he could from fellow Dallas house heads.
JT released his first record on Fairpark Records back in 1996. Soon after he was commissioned to remix the legendary Chez Damier’s “Close”, an amazing starting point for the young producer. It was not long after that JT would relocate to Chicago and become part of the Chicago house music family. He started collaborations with Lance DeSardi, Tim Shumaker, DJ Heather, Diz, Colette and Cpen. He would go on to establish his own recording label, Gallery Music Group and release music from artists like Derrick Carter, Pty Ltd, Joshua, Vibezlect, Luke Solomon and Urban Jazz Naturals.
JT has traveled all across the globe playing music in some of the world’s best nightclubs and venues. His music is consistently changing and evolving while receiving support and recognition from top house dj’s worldwide. He has released 3 mixed CD’s to date 2 full-length albums under the monikers 2nd Shift and Undercover Agency and is touring the globe on a regular basis. With his productions in high demand he is frequently remixing other artists material as well as working on new projects, including a new solo album to be released in the near future.
JT’s DJ sets can be as versatile as his record collection. Known as a house DJ first, he often drops sets of classic funk, soul, disco new wave and everything in between. You can catch JT at his Brooklyn residencies and – more importantly – Oct 17 at DLM Dance Studio!

JT has thrown down some of the best house sets we've ever heard laid down in Toronto.
One very fond memory we have of him is checking him out playing a Hamilton gig on a Friday night, and then the very next night in Toronto on the Saturday. They were completely different sets, and not a single track repeated from one night to the next.
And as incredible as that sounds, he murdered it both nights, though in completely different ways. So versatile!
Well unfortunately those nights weren't recorded but here's a belter of a set from him from around that same time period. Enjoy!
