::::DJ Gant Man::::
Juke and ghetto house hero Gant Garrard (pronounced Jerrod) aka Gant-Man was introduced to mixing in the mid 80's by his older brother and learned how to count beats and blend records at the young age of 5. At the age of 9 he was ready to share his talent with the world and landed a mixshow on a college radio station in Chicago (WKKC 89.3 FM) where he mixed from 1989 through 1997.
Gant was the protege of Chicago House legend Paul Johnson learning the ropes about producing house music and at age 15 in 1995, Gant produced his first EP for Dance Mania record label titled "Its About Time" which spawned the Chicago underground smash "3 Blind Mice" which was built around the theme music from "The Three Stooges" television show. He became known in Chicago as the "Youngest Professional DJ" and is attributed to being one of the main key innovators of Ghetto House/Juke. Right after many more EP's and mix tapes followed.
Gant started doing assistant production with Grammy award winning remixer Maurice Joshua on R&B group Destiny Child remixes which landed him his breakthrough remix in 2005 making Gant the first Juke producer to have a Juke remix on a major label with a major artist with his official remix of Beyonce's "Check On It" feat. Slim Thug on Sony/Columbia Records. The Juke remix era was now official with hundreds of Juke remixes of Hip hop and r&b artists, underground and major.
Since then Gant teamed up with the Fool's Gold/Downtown family releasing the club smash "Juke Dat Girl" single and remixing Kid Sister singles, "Damn Girl" and "Pro Nails" feat. Kanye West. Producing her next single "Switchboard" featuring Gant rapping on the 2nd verse.
2008, Gant launched his record label Bang Tha Box Recordingz specializing in the best Juke/Footwork House tracks in the Juke industry. Doesn't look like Gant will stop jukin' any time soon! From "jack" to "juke" Gant is house music!!!
