Originally from Orangeburg, South Carolina, DJ Speedy has produced work resulting in over 27 million albums sold. His open DJ format has entertained and delighted thousands of millennial fans across the globe. As a self-taught producer, DJ Speedy has reached new heights that have taken him into the world of Electric Dance Music (EDM).

DJ Speedy gained national recognition when Grammy nominated rapper Young Jeezy placed him in the intro of one of his songs with the quote, "You a fool for this one Speedy" on his multi-platinum release, The Inspiration. Since remixing Beyoncé in 2007, Speedy has also taken the EDM world by storm, playing in front of packed crowds at world famous venues such as Hakkasan, Club Lure, and Tomorrow World and playing notable festivals like Tomorrowland.

DJ Speedy's tracks can be found in a Pepsi Max NFL Commercial with B.o.B and the Def Jam Icon video game for EA Sports. He currently resides in Los Angeles.


Music career

DJ Speedy served as the mix show DJ for the most popular mix show in the entire state of South Carolina, where he broke records set by other major artists such as Nelly. Soon after he packed up and left to Atlanta, GA where he and his cousin founded their own production company, Speedy Productions.

Soon after, Speedy collaborated with Outkast and produced Big Gipp's first solo hit, "Steppin' Out", in addition to the majority of Goodie Mobb's fourth album. He later would produce "Outkast of EDM" a project that showcases exclusive Outkast tracks in EDM format (The Holy Grail of EDM).

From making parody commercials of AT&T to Fourlokos and beyond he has made singles such as his first, "You're a Star" featuring Shawty Redd to the Seantre produced "All of Me" which is a departure from his traditional music.

DJ Speedy has partnered with the Global Good Group to become a part of the Global Good Network of people, businesses, organizations, musicians, and more dedicated to changing the world.
