Born Peter Dalton in Nottingham, England, MistaJam emerged as one of the UK’s most influential DJs, broadcasters, and tastemakers, seamlessly bridging the worlds of dance, R&B, pop, and urban music. Starting his career as a teenager in pirate radio and theater, he quickly gained recognition for his encyclopedic knowledge of contemporary sounds and a knack for reading crowds. MistaJam joined BBC Radio 1Xtra in 2005, where he helped define the sound of a generation with his forward-thinking broadcasts and support for emerging talent.

Later, his shows on BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 1 Dance cemented his reputation as a pioneer for fresh, cross-genre music, energizing millions of listeners. Throughout his career, MistaJam has been a champion of diversity in the music industry, coining the phrase “Dance NRG” and launching his own label, Dance NRG Records, in 2021. Beyond radio, he has performed at major clubs and festivals around the world and, since 2020, has continued to energize fans as the prime-time host on Capital Dance.

MistaJam’s passion, charisma, and commitment to breaking boundaries have made him a trusted tastemaker and beloved icon in global club culture.
