Dj Chicken George
With heavy emphasis on the music, Dj Chicken George has emerged as a globetrotting, groove merchant whose diverse sessions are unpredictable, energetic and heart-felt by his listeners. His unique style of incorporating and fusing various styles of music with intricate scratching techniques has granted him several appearances at cultural arts and music events in Mexico, Sweden and across the U.S including Urb Magazine's Firecracker event series, Dublab.com radio and many music venues throughout Los Angeles.
More than just a club DJ, Chicken George embodies the creative spirit of Hip-hop culture. He is an artistic entrepreneur, blending eclectic new sounds and old tracks together, collaborating with graphic designers and emcees, making radio sets feel like live shows and live shows a celebration of music."I've always loved listening to music. It was something that I enjoyed more than any other activity as a child. I could become completely engulfed and lost in music any time I wanted." DJ Chicken George transformed his hobby into a career when he purchased his first set of turntables after graduating from high school and then dedicated his time to developing his musical tastes and talent.
His appreciation for music can largely be attributed to his parents who made music an important part of family life. He was born in Boston, Massachusetts, later moved to Houston, Texas and is currently living in Austin, Texas. Arriving in March of 2003, he quickly became a local favorite and was voted Best Live (Club / Party) DJ for the Austin Chronicle "Best of Austin '04" Readers Poll. Chicken George has since exploded on to the vibrant Austin live music scene, with two weekly residencies and a fan base that ranges from Hip-hop purists to party people.
