Career

ProfJam started his career in 2008. His first exposition to the Hip Hop audience occurred when he participated in the Portuguese competition "Liga Knockout", where rappers had to make their own rhymes in order to defeat their opponent in a 1v1 punchlines battle.{{Cite web|url=http://www.hiphoptuga.org/2016/01/entrevista-oficial-profjam.html|title=Entrevista Oficial ProfJam|date=20 January 2016 |access-date=2018-12-23}}

Later on{{When|date=February 2024}}, after dropping out from a Computer Science and Information Systems class at Instituto Superior Técnico, he went to London to pursue a degree in audio production, in the SAE Institute.

In 2016, he created his own record label, Think Music Records. Think Music Records has signed Portuguese artists such as Yuzi, SippinPurpp, Mike El Nite, Lon3r Johny, among others.{{Cite web|url=http://hiphopradio.pt/tag/think-music/|title=Arquivo de think music • Hip Hop Rádio|website=Hip Hop Rádio|language=pt-PT|access-date=2018-12-23}}
