There is power in the way Tyrus Briggs energizes a crowd with his aggressive, sexy mix of music. He understands the rush that comes with a unique sound that isn’t contrived but is instead, inspired by a driving rhythm combined with a dynamic stage presence. He is an experienced, tech-savvy spinner who knows how to manipulate a turntable in a way that will hype any crowd.
DJ Tyrus creates his own steamy compilation using the quick mix theory…taking a piece of music, and duplicating it over multiple pieces of equipment. Whether they are straight mash-up, loop-based recordings, or even vinyl, he’ll control the tempo, the feel, and the pitch of the mixes producing pumping dance music with the latest audio technology available. He’ll spin a blend of styles including hip hop, Top 40 Dance and straight up electronic into a euphoric mix of music as he responds to the crowd’s vibe, giving them what they crave.
DJ Tyrus grew up break-dancing in the 80’s with his seven brothers and sisters, becoming deeply fascinated by how the tracks could create moods within a crowd. His career as a DJ began during college when he was down with the well-known DJ Cwiz, who has now produced more than 20 CDs. Later, forming his own business, DJ Tryus traveled to clubs throughout the south and has guested regularly and been the resident at many Nashville hot spots, until agreeing to be the resident celebrity DJ at Fuse located at Gaylord Opryland Resort.
With over 30 years of experience and the talent of being able to crisscross genres, DJ Tyrus is establishing himself as a producer and highly recognized club, corporate and private event performer and is one to watch.
