Jhonattan Jacob Reyes Cedeno was born and raised in Panama City, Panama. His stage name, Jhon El Diver, was given to him in the studio where others would call him “El Divertido,” which is Spanish for “fun,” as a nod to his serious demeanor. He picked up on music around the age of 11. When his sister asked for a guitar and never used it, Jhon decided to dust it off and take it to his school guitar class.
Most of what Jhon learned on the guitar he picked up on his own, and by watching other experienced players. That same dedication allowed him to eventually learn the keyboard, bass, drums and other percussion instruments. His first musical performance started with a school salsa orchestra, and it wasn’t too far after that he would use music to try to build a career and feed his family. Jhon would join friends and play at local bars and nightclubs around Panama before eventually collaborating with latin artist, Sech.
In addition to the reggae sounds familiar with his country of Panama, Jhon found musical inspiration from artists like Mana, Gondwana and El Kid. His unique sound and talents have allowed him to collaborate with most of the artists in Panama, as well as internationally acclaimed artists like Zion, Lennox, Nicky Jam, Mike Bahia and Maluma. He describes his creative process as more of a collaborative effort, working alongside other producers in the studio to mix sounds and influences to make music unlike anything else.

Although he wants to focus for the moment as a DJ, he does not rule out producing for other musical genres such as salsa, hip-hop and expanding into the reggaeton.
He is currently working on a project as a DJ, in which he will be producing and then selling. In this same project several artists from the urban genre will be collaborating.

But as humans, we are all the same,” said DJ Flow, who can be described as a transparent and authentic person.
Living simply today, DJ Flow continues to make good music and leave footprints wherever he goes. Encouraging parties and making the public enjoy his talent, he continues to move forward with optimism and charisma that characterizes him.
