DJ Chicken George's (CG) unique "Jazztronica" style of incorporating and fusing diverse genres of music has granted him several international appearances in Sweden, Paris, Amsterdam, Vancouver, Mexico and across the U.S. including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Portland, Las Vegas, Detroit and Philly. CG also deejayed on extensive radio tours with sets on Betalounge Radio, Dublab.com, Eavesdrop Radio & Beatsauce Radio hosted by Om Records' recording artist, J-Boogie. CG has shared the stage with a wide range of talent including The Wailers, Pete Rock, Jazzanova, DJ Premier of Gang Starr, Cody ChesnuTT, Spoon, Echo and the Bunnyman, Grandmaster Flash, Breakestra, Biz Markie, Grupo Fantasma, The Neptunes, Saul Williams, The Roots, Talib Kweli, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings,
KC & the Sunshine Band & Afrika Bambaataa.

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 residing 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.

This is a mix he did for the
Soul Searching radio show out of Frankfurt, Germany. CG frequents the Chicago area very often, so check him out the next time he's in town...good looking out on the mix CG!
