Wantigga

Residing in the Netherlands, DJ and Producer Jonathan Tan AKA Wantigga , has been making beats in his hometown Deventer since he was a boy. Growing up in a churchgoing household, he was raised with a lot of gospel, soul and jazz music. As an autodidact musician, he taught himself to play several instruments, but his interest turned quickly to electronic music and hip-hop. With Dilla as his big example, he combines Hip-hop, Bass and UK House with a thick layer of Soul on top. He made a name for himself with his flips of RnB classic, which got picked up by labels such as HW&W and Soulection. As part of the KLEAR Agency in Amsterdam, Wantigga became acquainted with the Parisian Label Roche Musique on several occasions when he played together with among others Roche Musique label-owner Cézaire. This became a musical love affair, which resulted in Wantigga's first ever EP Pillow Talk being released on Roche Musique in February 2016. Currently, Wantigga is working on his second EP, expected to be released in November 2017. In addition, he has workedwith Belgium rapper Damso together with whom he made a track, Lové, which was released on Damso's album on 28th April 2017. Damso's album already received the double platinum status and the track Lové went gold.
