DJ, producer and dancer DJ Saucy P has passed away, Resident Advisor has confirmed.
The Newark-born artist, real name Brandon Daniels, is remembered as a Jersey club legend who began life as a dancer, predominantly as part of the New Jersey-based dance troupe he founded, Strictly Business.
Resident Advisor reports that a source close to Daniels confirmed his passing, but did not give a cause of death. The late artist’s friends and family have paid tribute to him online.
One friend spoke about Daniels on Facebook , describing him as having a “heart of gold”, and saying that he was able to “live out his dreams” through music. “All my brother wanted was [to get] his credit for making some of the best Jersey club hits of all time,” they wrote.
Daniels was born in Newark, New Jersey, where he began making music for his dance crew in the 2000s. His Jersey club tracks amassed thousands upon thousands of streams on SoundCloud over the years, where his output was prolific.
In 2010, he produced the famed DJ Frosty track ‘Ride That Wave’, which also featured Fatman Scoop, DJ Webstar, Smooth and Young B, and also worked on the production for Chad B’s ‘Hit It’.
“I’m proud that I got to make music with him for so many years,” fellow artist Niamoni Chanel said in tribute . “I could come to him with an idea I barely knew how to explain, and he’d hear what I was going for and help me bring it to life.”
