Jairus Miller has been making noise of some sort ever since he was a child. After taking piano lessons intermittently, he picked up a guitar at age 13 and began to make new kinds of sounds. The desire to expand his spectrum of musical expression eventually materialized in the recording of sounds on tape, and this turn led to the acquisition and use of software-based, computer music production.

In 1998, Jairus began releasing music online under the moniker "Isotope 99", and later under the guise of "5i". Soon after, Jairus's music found it's way into a variety of production music libraries, for use in film, television, and other media. In 2004 up-and-coming Australian label Infamous Light Recordings released the four-track "Feng Shui" EP by Jairus, which has received support from many internationally-known DJs. Slowly developing and growing over time, in the past six years Jairus's music has been featured in DJ sets and mixes, national television broadcasts, live online webcasts, and a variety of music reviews.

The year 2005 saw Jairus with digital releases from Hunya Munya ("Startide" and "Ever After"), ILR ("Jester and "Venutian Dancer"), Adjust Recordings (the Balance Record Pool-charted "Burning Hands"), and Toes in the Sand (remixes of Naveen G and Michael Lanning tracks). Jairus also released his debut digital LP - "The Age of Wonder" - on German label Shrimps and Chips. In the immediate future Jairus already has multiple releases and remixes lined up, with more sure to follow.

Looking to the future, Jairus continues to strive at translating the sounds of the heart and mind into digital groove landscapes.
