A native of Guam, Jia's journey began with his love for techno, leading him to DJing and eventually creating "6AM Disturbance." The name symbolized his double life, where weekdays were about his finance job, and weekends were a celebration of music.
His dedication brought him from San Diego to LA, opening doors to the music scene and eventually leading to the development of Guam's Electric Island Festival, an award-winning house and techno sensation. But 6AM is more than just festivals and events; it's about enriching lives through community, belonging, and creating opportunities for the next generation of artists.
Jia’s belief in what he calls an “invisible KPI” emphasizes that the energy and intention of an event’s creator directly influence the event itself. It must be real and genuine.
With new projects like ArtistMap, aimed at educating and guiding aspiring artists, 6AM continues to foster an inclusive community serving something greater than itself.
