J.J. Caillier III was born October 27, 1967 in Lafayette, LA. He remembers working alongside his dad at 8 years old in the family Zydeco and Blues record store. There he had the opportunity to meet several legends of Zydeco artists such as Clifton Chenier, Buckwheat Zydeco, and Rockin' Sidney. In the late 70's, J.J.'s father became a driving force in the Zydeco music revival. He hosted a popular radio show called "Zydeco Gumbo," as well as producing landmark releases by BooZoo Chavis and Clifton Chenier. It was on one of these recordings, "Country Boy, Now Grammy Award Winner 1984" by Clifton Chenier, that J.J. would make his recording debut, creating keyboard tracks for the King of Zydeco. According to J.J., "It was an experience that I'll never forget." It was in 1996 that he pursued his own career in Zydeco, with a combination of the bluesy styles of Clifton Chenier and the funky style of Beau Jocque. J.J. says, "With a style like that, you can move everyone," and that's what he intends to do. J.J. creates music with several types of accordions, but loves to play the big piano accordion made famous by Clifton Chenier. J.J. has toured with the late great Beau Jocque and with the Zydeco sweetheart, Rosie Ledet.The Zydeco Knockout proves that he's got what it takes to hang out in the ring with the best of them!
