Were you ever at a party in Barbados and felt like the DJ knew exactly what the crowd wanted? Well, there’s a high possibility that it could have been none other than Barbadian born and bred DJ T.G. At age 37, he’s now the person to whom many surrender their soul for several hours of musical release.
With Tyson Griffith being his real name, it doesn’t take much to connect the dots to recognize the origin of his DJ title. He may be a simple man with a simple name but while on set, he’s far from average!
In fact, he thrives where other DJs flounder. What makes him different is that he embraces the technical but authentic elements of the art such as live on set scratching, mixing BPMs (Beats Per Minute) to perfection and most importantly, understanding music as a behavioral science which makes him matchless in comparison to the others in the industry.
This great love for the art actually started at the age of 15 but it only became his absolute obsession at age 23; thus, marking the start of his professional career.
DJ T.G’s first ever stage appearance was at the Sugar Ultra Lounge for their annual Christmas party back in 2010,
T.G is all about the crowd. While performing, he often basks in that special feeling he gets when he sees his party rocking and his audience in seventh heaven. It’s the unity and the mutual joy that people share which keeps him going.
While they are under his spell, he then adds his creative edge whether it be scratching or “trick mixing” which he uses as an educational moment in showing the audience that not all perceived new songs are actually new and truth be told, the crowd goes wild in amazement of his talents.
Due to the knowledge gained over the years and time spent researching musical origins and their distinctive genres, his selections are often quite different from the usual go-to tracks of others. In addition, he also drills himself with intense weekly practice sessions in his studio.
T.G keeps setting the bar high and as a result, the opportunities keep coming,the appreciation for his work is absolutely undeniable, to the point where he is a “must have” at many of the popular premium and cooperate events on the island of Barbados.
Q. What does the future hold for DJ T.G?
With his love for traveling, T.G intends to export his talents and tap into the international markets, while maintaining his ongoing business relationships in Barbados.
We are certain that with his knowledge, skills, candid personality and absolute dedication, not only will he continue to top the local events but dominate whatever he sets his mind to and continue on his own charted path to success.
