TJR

Thomas Joseph Rozdilsky (better known by his initials, TJR) is an American EDM DJ and producer who resides in Los Angeles. Originally from Danbury, Connecticut, he started spinning records in 2004 after getting into acid house. Starting in 2005, he released several acid records on labels such as Tora Tora Tora and Catalyst Recordings. Around 2008, he shifted to an electro-house sound, and his career exploded from there. Numerous digital singles and EPs appeared on labels such as Pop Rox Muzik and Jack Union Records, but a 2012 collaboration with Pitbull, “Don’t Stop the Party,” was an enormous worldwide hit. TJR then recorded tracks for bigger labels such as London and Spinnin’ Records, and other club hits followed, including “Ode to Oi” and “What’s Up Suckaz.” 2014 saw collaborations with Dillon Francis, VINAI, and Benji Madden, and TJR subsequently worked with GTA, Cardi B, and Chicago house legend DJ Funk. ~ Paul Simpson
