Andre "DJ Jinrei" Smith
Disc Jockey
Orange County, CA, USA
Biography:
Andre Smith, better known under the alias "JINREI" (pronounced JIN-RAY), broke into the scene in 2005, working under the long-running promotion "Nostalgia.LA" with his live mixing on vinyl. Jinrei is originally from Bristol, England, and grew up partially here in the US, in a Korean district of San Francisco where he became involved in Korean music, and then later Japanese Dance Pop, which was one of the biggest influences on his work. Later, working with other promotions and headlining DJs, Jinrei mastered his craft with everything EDM, from Dance Fusions to French House, with Japanese/Korean original remixes. Having done shows with Cosmic Gate, DJ.Amaya, ZEDD, DJ.Diamond, Steve Aoki, and many more big names, as well as running his own nights in LA, OC, and Vegas, Jinrei has become a well-seasoned veteran in putting people on the dance floor, whether setting the mood lounge-style, or hitting the room with rare bangers for a high-energy crowd.
