“Turkish hip hop is not really big here because [the artists] have to work harder. The music isn’t blowing anybody away. Hip hop is not part of our culture but we have to work on it,” said Togayhan Tarim, also known as local DJ TNT. - Alexandra Legend Siegel

"Efes Türkiye Miller Ürün Yöneticisi Zeynep Erkan ve Dinamo FM’den Muzo Berberoglu açilis konusmalarini yaptiktan sonra DJ Kategorisinin ilk finalisti DJ TNT eglenceli performansi ile sahnedeydi. Herkesi costuran Dj’in performansini dinlerken bu iste dinleyenleri gaza getirmenin ve sözlere eslik ettirmenin önemli avantaj oldugunu anladim? Tahminim dogru çikti ve gece sonunda Dj kategorisinin kazanani TNT oldu!" - Ahmet Emin Sensoy (Official Efes Pilsen Blogger)

Bio
Born in '84, Izmir, Turkey as Togayhan Tarim. Met hip-hop in his early ages, internalized the culture and started his djing career in year 2005. Influenced by works of legendary hip-hop pioneers such as Grandmaster Flash, Jam Master Jay, Kid Capri, DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ Premier, DJ Scratch and DJ AM.
Combining old school/new school hip-hop and funk tunes together professionally has always been his main objective. DJ TNT brings wealth of experience and knowledge through his skills on the turntables that can only be attributed to the non-stop fun on the dance floor. In 2007, he created the show series "Friday Night R&B Jumpoff!" with his crew and took his dj performance to another level with vocals, dance shows and more interactivity. He held many residencies and performed at festivals in Turkey so far. While he's been working on album and concert projects, he also supports dance festivals, hip-hop organizations, international artists and radios with his works.
In 2010, he completed his audio engineering studies at SAE Institute Istanbul and combined his experience with a diploma. Recently, he has awarded 1st place winner at Miller Music Factory 2011. Now, as a member of Wu-Tang DJ's (Wu World Wide DJ Coalition), he's looking forward to expand his music beyond borders.
