DJ G$Money debuted a new up and coming artist’s song called “Aunt Jackie.” During the spring of 2007 while playing at a local nightclub, DJ G$Money debuted a new up and coming artist’s song called “Aunt Jackie.” The debut of that single struck a chord with Hot 97 radio personality DJ Envy who interviewed Jason Fox, the creator of “Aunt Jackie,” on Hot 97 Morning Show. A few weeks later, Jason Fox was signed to So So Def/Island Def Jam, where DJ Envy is the Head of the A&R Department. DJ G$Money has been constantly credited for the musical marriage. Adding to his musical resume, G$Money acquired an internship with Sirius XM Radio personalities the WonderTwinz and continued to work in the Urban Media Department for Universal Records. He currently works with Drahma Magazine on their radio show (Drahma Reality Radio), as well as the AOL Mix through Tapemasters Inc. on AOL Radio. He is also a Mentor/DJ for I Love My Life Program, a program that helps young adults. He is a loyal and dedicated member and has spoken at several High Schools. The Program was featured on the Salt N Pepa Show and in Newsday, Our Times, and on Fox 5 and UPN 9. With education being a vital role, he recently received his Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management with a concentration in Audio Recording at Five Towns College.

THE G-SPOT In a recent meeting with DJ G$Money he talked about his love for music and his goal to serve as a successful and efficient ambassador of music. And how is he going about achieving his goal? He recently produced and released several tracks, which in my professional opinion, has huge pop potential namely “Twitter Dat” feat. Breeze and SP and a potential club banger titled “Yah Know Dis” feat. Gossyp. Additionally, he has released a sampled version of Nicki Manaj feat. Drake’s mega hit “Moment for life.” DJ G$Money took inspiration from this track, to match with his social and cultural background, to team up with one of Queens Underground hotshots Vic Damone, thus masterminding a sensational club remix joint, titled “Queens and Its Crazy.” In order to boost the capacity of the track, an official video was released in October and the support for the project has grown with syndicated radio stations adding the track to their mix shows. Veteran DJ’s such as the much acclaimed DJ Self offered personal support to the project through spins at public events. Earlier this year he suffered a minor career setback when his Twitter account was hacked and deleted causing him to loose over twenty thousand followers. He quickly recreated a new account and has busied himself rebuilding his network. In closing, when asked if an opportunity arose to pursue music in a different capacity, DJ G$Money hurriedly pointed out that being a DJ was and still is his first love. However, self-growth is important and being successful in this day and age requires a high entertainment value, so one must be creatively flexible. His sights are deeply set on his future international excursions as he is interested in traveling all over the world and getting opportunities to entertain all class, cultures and societies.
