Dj TanTrum was born and raised in Greenville, SC (two five), but reside in Charleston for the moment. He always dreamed of being a dj. Inspired by the movie "Juice". TanTrum's dream finally came true in the fall of 2002. Since then, he djed for various artists, clubs, bars, and college parties.

SPECIAL THANKS
All of this wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for my family (G AKA Giavonni AKA Geezy, Nookie, Samara, Neika, my mama, my aunts & uncles, and my grandparents). They were my motivation as well as the movie "Juice". And it also wouldn't be possible on the real if it wasn't for Dj Unstable, Dj H Vidal, Dj Ice, Poppa G, J Mason, and last but not least, Big Ed. Without them, I would've had 2 start on a lower level from which I started from. They showed me all thing right things I needed to know about the game well before I had to face them for myself, and I thank them for everything.
P.S. Thanx to Lexis for helping a nig pick out his dj name and all the extra support.
