Thomas Joseph "T.J." Rozdilsky, more known by his stage name as TJR, is an American DJ and music producer.[1]
Background
TJ Rozdilsky was born 15 March 1983 in Danbury, Connecticut. Hesitating between a sporting career (golf) or music TJR decided to become a DJ in 2004 after he attended multiple acid house concerts.[2] TJR has built a formidable catalogue of original tracks and remixes since exploding on the scene in 2008. He’s the consummate DJ’s DJ and its clear that the mixing skills he’s honed over his career have never been more relevant; spinning, rolling and scratching live, TJR is a sight to behold behind the decks, especially in an era of pre-programmed playlists. Known for his three Beatport overall #1’s with ‘Funky Vodka,’ ‘What’s Up Suckaz,’ and ‘Bounce Generation,’ his monstrous hit ‘Ode to Oi'[3] and the certified Platinum smash, ‘Don’t Stop The Party’ with Pitbull; TJR has become the master of the dancefloor anthem.[4] Moving to LA from Connecticut as a last ditch effort to avoid the corporate grind, he honed his skills behind the decks by constantly working at his craft. The hard work paid off and he found success in LA and San Diego, and from there the best parties and dancefloors of the world beckoned.
