Dj Grin aka Jono Oliver started his musical career at the age of 15 when he took up his other passion in life the drums!!

By the time Jono was 18 he helped form Western Australia's power metal outfit RAWKUS who's achievements included releasing 2 cds , playing at the legendary Bindoon Rock festival (in front of 20,000 people)an Australian national tour and in 1993 becoming the 'World's Loudest Band'when they cranked 136 decibels of wall busting sound at the now defunct Club O.

In 1998 he joined Perth industrial/metal outfit KIN where he started to experiment with playing live to keyboards and samples and released the 'Third Eye' ep. At this time he also discovered the sounds of underground House and Electronic music at a Club called DC's.

After departing KIN in 2000 he then partied for a few years at many festivals and club nights before deciding he would rather go back to being the entertainer rather than the entertained. In 2004 Jono had his first go on da wheels of steel and has been hooked ever since.

Spending the next few years perfecting his Dj'n skills playing at parties, Dj Grin was now set to hit the limelight once again but this time as a Dj and not a drummer!!

In 2008 DJ Grin formed the company BLACK DRAGON PROMOTIONS to promote all things HARD DANCE. BDP held their first event at the famous Gilkisons called REGENR8 featuring JAMES NARDI (INSEKT/KILLERHURTS RECORDINGS-UK) and then followed up another event in May 08 also called REGENR8 which featured ILOGIK (ELASICMAN RECORDS-UK) After injecting some spark back into the Perth Hard Dance sence DJ Grin was booked to play some massive shows including TANZISTOR,ALPHASIX,HARD WARS IX and was also asked to special guest at the BEDROOM TO BIGROOM DJ COMP at the Rise.In 2009 Grin was asked back to HARD WARS X and played a blistering back to back set with BENI C (Best Hard Dance DJ PDMA)

Dj Grin plays a selection of Hard House,NRG,Techno,Hard Trance, Breaks,Psy-Trance and anything with a hard banging or rolling bassline with a dark demented twist!! Grin also plans to form a live electronic act in the future but for now look out for Dj Grin playing his hard and nasty twisted beats at a venue near you.
