Community builder, programming coordinator/curator Jamal aka J Squeezy discovered his love for sharing and gathering around music through involvement in local community radio. From beginnings with CJSW 90.9FM in Treaty 7 (Calgary) to co-founding bside.radio on the Unceded Coast Salish Lands (Vancouver)... from the living room to the dance floor, he's found a taste for fresh grooves and uplifting moods. Jamal's community focused work continues to unfold in fun and fulfilling ways, with bside.radio providing an important third space in the city and most recently, leading the coordination plus execution of Public Disco's Streetside Sessions in collaboration with Gastown for their 2025 Car-Free Sundays.
