4. DJ Ty – North Carolina A&T State University

I’m DJ Ty and I’m from Siler City, NC. I started DJing when I was in the 6th grade. I’m inspired by my Grandfather, Dad, and Uncle who all DJ too, so it’s definitely in my blood. The culture at NC A&T and all the other HBCUs I’ve DJ’d at inspired me to take my craft to the next level. There’s nothing like the energy, the unity, and the love for music that HBCUs bring!
