episode 010: DJ Big Jacks (Jay Isaac)

Author: with May Globus March 31, 2021 Duration: 56:25
DJ Big Jacks is not only one of most talented musicians and DJs in Canada, he’s also one of the most humble, kind humans you’ll ever meet. He discovered his love for music at a young age, going to record stores with his father, and quickly carved himself a career in Toronto’s music scene before expanding his reach from coast to coast. Jay is the official DJ for Aritzia and co-founder of GGBR Records with music producer Bozack Morris. In this conversation, we talk about his perspective around the Black Lives Matter movement over this last year, creativity and connection, the origins of his nickname Yung Snack Lord, and more.

There’s a particular texture to a life built around creating something meaningful, whether that’s a business, a work of art, or a new path forward. The Craft with May Globus pulls back the curtain on those lives through unhurried, intimate dialogues. May sits down with a diverse range of creators, founders, and pioneers, but the focus here is less on glossy success stories and more on the raw material of their journeys. You’ll hear the nuances of their creative process, the pivotal moments in their personal backstory, and how their philosophy shapes their daily existence. It’s an ongoing exploration of the shared humanity behind different kinds of work. What makes this podcast uniquely immersive is its commitment to being an audio-visual experience. Each conversation is accompanied by rich, editorial-style photography that provides a deeper, more sensory connection to the guest and their world. Think of it like a beautifully composed magazine feature that you can listen to, where the images and the dialogue work in concert. Tuning into this podcast feels like gaining quiet, privileged access to the minds of people who are thoughtfully shaping culture, one idea at a time.
