DJT was born in 1981 in Rockford, Illinois. After his Mother gave up life with him and his sibblings at a young age,6, he moved in with their Father and step-mother. He hasn't seen or heard from her in over 21 years. At 18, he caught his first case. He would stay in trouble with the law until 2006, when he sought music to deal with his feelings. "At first it was just to give me something to do, but over the years I've became addicted to music and making it." Everything you hear in his music, background music and vocals, has been done by DJT. In December 2008, DJT formed DJT Productions, a Rockford area music production company.
