TeeJay the DJ has been spinning ever since he knew he needed to make more money to pay for student loans. As a hybrid of an Emcee, Host, and Comedian, TeeJay uses his Second City improv skills to launch us into an open-format set full of dope times and memorable rides. His most notable appearance as a DJ was on Fox’s Empire where he played DJ Selection. For more information about TeeJay, follow him @tjspokenword.
