Dj Theo G

Born in the Twin Cities and raised in a small town in northern Wisconsin, Theo’s roots in music run deep. As a third-generation musician it was almost inevitable. Both of his parents are songwriters and musicians, and he’s been playing drums since the age of nine. Music was the heartbeat of every family gathering, with dance floors forming in living rooms and rhythm woven into everyday life. So when Theo decided to pick up DJing, he took to it naturally. After high school, Theo hit the road—literally. He toured the U.S. and the U.K. playing drums with his band.   One of his favorite moments? Playing for thousands of chanting fans in Glasgow, Scotland.  It was electric, unforgettable, and proof of the power of music to bring people together.

These days, Theo is a sound engineer and lighting tech at the iconic First Avenue, helping make the magic happen for other performers night after night.  When he’s not behind the decks or behind the scenes, you’ll find him gaming, hiking, or sketching.
