JHNN (J-H-N-N) AKA JOHN ARUM is an upcoming Indie dance/house DJ from Calgary, Alberta who has an essential goal to hear good music on the radio again. The name JHNN comes from one of his biggest inspirations MSTRKRFT, a name he chose after hearing on an interview at much music that the band had played Rap music in a music scene that didn’t accept rap music and continued to do so until winning the crowd over.
