jamaican roots
— Global Sound

Caribbean roots, afro swing, melodic friction — Merchant’s sound is built in the overlap. The Jamaican DJ/Producer blurs genre lines with a style that feels familiar and futuristic all at once, bridging culture, rhythm, and emotion through every record.

On stage, Merchant has shared lineups with &Friends, Nitefreak, Themba, Sparrow & Barbossa, Chris Luno, and Coco & Breezy, performing across circuits from Kingston and Havana to London, Paris, Athens, Mykonos, Dubai, and Miami. His sets carry the same pulse as his records — vibrant, soulful, and impossible to imitate.

Merchant’s originals, remixes, and edits have earned support from Blond:ISH, Diplo, Francis Mercier, John Summit, and Pete Tong on BBC Radio, cementing his place among the new wave of global house artists to watch. Now signed to Helix Records, he enters a new chapter with collaborations alongside Idd Aziz, Manu (UK), and Jordan Grace, and more on the way with some of the scene’s brightest names.

Standing at the intersection of culture, Merchant continues to define what the next era of global house music sounds and feels like.
