About Juse
The son of Aotearoa rocker Tommy Ferguson, Juse's love for music started early, the product of spending his early years living in a nightclub. At the age of 13 he bought his first turntable and set about reconstructing it, and with an old tape-deck he experimented with cutting and fading… and his passion for DJ’ing and production began. This led to DJ work and he became the resident DJ at Escape, a popular Ponsonby nightclub in the early nineties, as well as the DJ for Dam Native, the legendary New Zealand Hip Hop innovators, at the tender age of 18.
Juse's passion lies in the evolving Pacific Hip Hop movement. Back in the day, as a colleague and collaborator with Che Fu and King Kapisi and other members of the Auckland collective ‘The Token Village’ in the 90’s in New Zealand, Juse was a part of a generation of New Zealand and Pacific artists that helped define the unique identity of New Zealand Hip Hop.
