Jerry Ocol (DJ Anak) is a DJ, scout, and organizer for the Jyotih Network.  Born and raised in Vancouver, BC, he is both an electronic music DJ and an acoustic songwriter.  As a DJ, he has performed at outdoor festivals such as Pollination and Intention.

Although Jerry is an old-school DJ at heart and loves vinyl, he also works with CDJ’s.  He plays a wide range of musical genres including ethnic and acid jazz downtempo, house, techno, trance, and socially conscious rap and R&B.  As an acoustic musician, he plays guitar, piano and harmonica and has performed both with bands and as a solo artist all over the world, from clubs in Vancouver to train stations and festivals in Japan.

Jerry’s work for the Jyotih Network brings together his passion for social justice and music.  He is currently studying towards a Social Service Worker Certificate and hopes to further serve the Downtown Eastside as an Outreach Worker.
