Girl Talk

Biografia

Girl Talk is the stage name of musician Gregg Gillis (born October 26, 1981). Gillis, who lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has released four LPs on Illegal Art and EPs on 333 and 12 Apostles. He began making music while studying Biomedical Engineering at Case Western Reserve University. He specializes in mash-up style remixes, in which he uses often a dozen or more unauthorized samples from different songs to create a new song; The New York Times Magazine has called his music “a lawsuit waiting to happen.” At his early shows, Gillis became notorious for his on-stage antics, spontaneously removing most or all of his clothing mid-performance. He has given different explanations for the origin of his stage name, once saying it alluded to a Jim Morrison poem[ and once saying it alluded to an early Merzbow side project.

Gregg went to school for biomedical engineering, with a focus on tissue engineering. He worked as a engineer, but quit in May 2007 to focus solely on music.
