Gregg Gillis, known professionally as Girl Talk, is a trailblazing American DJ and electronic music producer renowned for his genre-defying mashups and dynamic live performances. Originating from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Gillis has built a formidable reputation through his meticulous sampling techniques, weaving together hundreds of audio snippets from a vast array of songs to create cohesive and energetic compositions that resonate across musical boundaries. Although his earlier works primarily navigated the underground scene, Girl Talk has since expanded his reach with a sequence of attention-grabbing releases like "Eurostep," "Hard Times Don't Last," and "Full Court Press."

Collaborating with prominent figures such as Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y, and Big K.R.I.T. on tracks like "Santos Party House (Extended Version)," Girl Talk has proven his versatility and appeal within the broader hip-hop and electronic music communities. His more recent releases, such as "How The Story Goes" and "Trouble in Paradise," continue to showcase his innovative approach to music, blending infectious beats with an encyclopedic knowledge of pop culture sounds. A master of creating something extraordinary from the familiar, Girl Talk remains a significant and influential figure within the modern music landscape.
