The duo have already released one song, titled Voicemail, and plan to release more this summer.
DJ Casper, who hails from Philadelphia, said he first met the former Jon and Kate Plus Eight star 10 years ago at a DJ convention where they “connected instantly” and remained firm friends ever since.
He told The U.S. Sun: “Jon and I are creating upbeat, vibe-y, high-energy, feel-good music and I am not sure if the music will actually align to any particular genre as of now.
“A lot of the music will feel like a beach setting or something you would want to listen to on an island.

“When I hear the first song, I envision myself driving down Rodeo Drive or down South Beach in my convertible with the top down or being in the club and just wanting to turn up.
“Jon’s life experiences, the stories that we share and our mutual foundation of friendship absolutely influence the music that we are creating.”
Cas – real name Joseph Wright- says he uses an “open format style” and likes to use remixes, hip hop mashups, afrobeats, amapiano, reggaeton, baile funk, dance hall.
Self-taught, he started learning his art at 5 years old while watching his older brothers bring home the latest DJ equipment.
At age 13, following in his older brothers’ footsteps, Cas stepped into the local DJ scene and began DJ’ing at neighborhood house parties known as “Dollar Parties”.
He also likes to produce his own original tracks, which he showcases my unique style often on his YouTube Channel, and has fans from all over the world.
“My creativity really comes alive when I am around positive energy and people who vibrate at a high frequency, on top of that I always remain abreast of the latest updates to equipment, technology, the latest tools and innovative approaches to creating music,” he said.
“In terms of who influences me, Rodney Jerkins – Darkchild, and all of his hits over the years, the life lessons Jay-z shares in his music and the raw emotion that I hear and feel in Drake’s music.
“I am also heavily influenced by how artists and writers are integrating genres together in their music, for example; it’s very common today to hear a hip hop song that sounds like a DanceHall song or hearing a Reggeaton song that features traces of hip hop.
“Jon and I are creating upbeat, vibe-y, high-energy, feel-good music… [it] will feel like a beach setting or something you would want to listen to on an island.

“The last thing I will say is that my overall fire for music and my identity as an artist came from my parents, who met in a band, he was a drummer and she a singer.”
DJ Casper has also launched a series of events called iTalk, which combines motivational speaking with a nightclub experience.
He said: “My partner Dr. Jen Donnell and I are pioneering a new approach to leadership entertainment that we have termed ‘Motivational Nightlife’.
“iTalk merges leadership content with stage drama and pop culture. We received so much interest and endorsement of this platform over the course of our first three productions, from well known companies like Comcast, Porsche, Hennssey and others.
“Later this year, we will produce our fourth show, hosted by Jon Gosselin.
“There really isn’t anything like iTalk because it feels like a motivational leadership conference, a live show or concert, and a high energy nightclub experience all in one.
“Well known celebrities like Philly Freeway and Chanel WestCoast have performed on our platform, and high profile corporate executives have spoken on it.
“We are pushing pop-culture forward in a very unique way and we are really excited about the impact this platform will have and how it will inspire the future leader-generation of tomorrow.”
