More than just a club DJ, CG embodies the creative spirit of Hip-hop culture. He is an artistic entrepreneur, blending eclectic new sounds and old tracks together, collaborating with visual artists, emcees, and instrumentalists, 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.” CG transformed his hobby into a career when he purchased his first set of turntables after graduating from high school. He then dedicated his time to developing his musical tastes and talent. CG knew at a young age that his intrigue and passion for music would become a life-long endeavor. 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” Readers Poll. CG has also released 2 e.p.’s on the world renowned, Stockholm-based label, Swedish Brandy. His releases, DJ Chicken George Presents: The Swed.u.s.h Connection 1 & 2 are distributed world-wide.
