Pittsburgh DJ Gregg Gills, better known as Girl Talk, will be embarking on tour in North America for the first time in 8 years this upcoming spring. The mashup master will be kicking things off on April 29th in Cleveland, and will play nearly 20 shows before finishing up at New York’s Governors Ball festival on June 7th.
Girl Talk has not toured since finishing up the rounds after the release of his 2010 album All Day. He rose to prominence in the mid to late 2000’s through his catchy matchups that largely comprised his first 2 studio albums Night Ripper and Feed the Animals, released in 2006 and 2008 respectively.
Although Gills has not released any new music as Girl talk in some time, he has worked as a record producer with some of hip hop’s biggest names. Artists who have collaborated with Gills include Wiz Khalifa, T-Pain, Tory Lanez, Freeway, Young Nudy, Bas, Cozz, Erick the Architect (of Flatbush Zombies), Smoke DZA and Don Q.
