“They select a DJ in France per week and last Thursday, it was me ! » Jérémy Vedra, resident of Saint-Selve, in Gironde, made a dream come true, Thursday December 5, 2024. The DJ mixed for an hour on Fun Radio.

“It sure is a hell of a level in my life as a DJ”, introduces Jérémy Vedra, when he presents his appearance on the 15^e radio the most listened to in France. However, this life as a DJ began at the age of 15, over 20 years oldand accelerated five years ago when Jérémy Vedra began to professionalize.

It was while listening to Robert Sanchez, a house-style DJ, that I discovered electro music. Then, I went out a lot in Bordeaux and made friends with DJs.

An autodidact touches all styles

Outings that make him want to buy his own equipment, which he does little by little, and get started on the tempo. “I trained myself, out of passion. And then I wanted to make it my job,” argues Saint-Selvais.

Self-taughtJérémy Vedra mixes at night and also becomes a sports coach. A profession that he abandoned completely, two years ago, to devote himself solely to music and his family life.

Influenced by David Guetta, James Hype, Clapton and Allessandro, he defines his style aroundAfro houseTech house and EDM.

I like to vary to create my musical identity with many influences.

Resident DJ in Bordeaux

Productions and performances which allow him to become a DJ reside in several festive places in Bordeaux, including the Delirium Café. An establishment that he represented on Fun Radio: “To be selected, you must be a resident DJ in a bar or nightclub and send a demo. »

Obviously, his extract, made in his home studio, ‘caught the ears’ of the programmers of the electro station.

An exceptional experience

For an hour, he thrilled thousands of listeners: “It was still a lot of pressure. But they were exceptional. » They are Alex Voce and Matt, the presenters, as well as the After Fun radio team.

They made me feel at ease and even showed me around all the radio and M6 (partner group) studios. It was great!

An experience that the Girondin will remember for a long time, who took advantage of his prime time to “ beating with electrobootlegs and mixes to accompany people until nightclub« .

This passage is seen as “a reward of his work” by Jérémy Vedra, but has nothing of a finality.

Head full of dreams

The DJ is not finished with the creation of his dreams and sets a few goals that would satisfy him: “Sign in a gros labelrelease a sound that propels me, a bit like Klingande with whom I was able to chat, play on stages like that of the Tomorrowland in Belgium or the Ultra music festival in Miamiwhich serve as a reference…”

Jérémy Vedra is not afraid and his ambition makes him believe in a destiny which perhaps took a new turn, on a Thursday evening on Fun Radio.
