GSP is a DJ, producer, record label owner, and promoter from Greece. He started DJing when he was 12 years old and has since played all over the world. He is one of the best Circuit DJs around.

What really strikes me as beautiful about GSP is his love and passion for helping the LGBTQ+ community. He’s dedicated to bringing music to the masses and making people happy. He has an incredible ability to transform any popular or classic timeless commercial track into an amazing booty-shaking hit that brings massive energy to his live show.

Who Is GSP?

My name is Georgios. I’m originally from Greece. I currently live in Salt Lake City, Utah and I’m a DJ, producer, record label owner, and promoter.

Why Did You Want To Become A Dj? What Inspired You To Become One?

Since I was very, very young, like 10 or 12 years old, my family and family friends all used to throw parties. I always wanted to make sure that everybody had a good time. I was the person taking care of the music, lighting, and everything involved. Slowly I became the DJ of the family gatherings.

From a very young age, I started DJing and practicing on my own as a teenager. Then I got my first job as a DJ when I was 17. I was DJing everywhere, but I didn’t have any ambitions to become a DJ professionally. I was doing it because I loved it and wanted to make people happy. It was also an extra job for me as well as extra cash.

Isn’t That How It Starts Sometimes, You Fall Into It And End Up Enjoying Doing What You’re Doing?

Yeah! It was my hobby, passion, and extra job. I was actually studying applied mathematics, physics, and theater lighting/set design but my passion was and is still to make people dance.

Oh, Wow! That’s A Big Leap From Mathematics To A DJ.

Well, I do believe that everything is math.

That Is True! There Can Be A Lot Of Math That Goes Into Music.

Exactly. All BPMs, frequencies, beat marks, etc. It’s all math. You know, when I was very young, like 20 years ago, we didn’t have all this new technology, all the CDJs. We didn’t even have a BPM counter. I came up with an algorithm to beat-match and put the same BPM on the tracks with the pitch control. We didn’t have keys on the screen. Nothing.

When You First Started Were You Mainly Using Vinyl To Dj?

I started with vinyl, and then I switched to CDJs.

Do You Find It Easier Or Prefer Using Vinyl As A DJ, Or Do You Enjoy All The Technological Advances That Have Been Made For DJing?

Yeah. To tell you the truth, technology is helping us be more creative and do more, more things, but the sound is not the same. I definitely miss vinyl, but I don’t miss carrying them. Especially when you’re on tour, like three days in a row with gigs and having all these vinyl with you at the airport, it’s not very convenient. Now we only have the flash drives and our headphones.

So You Mentioned That You Loved Bringing Music To The Parties And Helping Everyone Have A Fun Time. Is That Generally Your Favorite Part About Being A DJ Or Do You Have Another Favorite Part?

My main goal is for people to have a good time, but yes, it is the music. This is my number one ingredient, but I always like helping with the light design, graphics, visuals, and everything. Yes, I love making music! I love creating music. I like to surprise people with unexpected tunes on the dance floor. That’s why I’m constantly working on new music, even on the plane. The plane is my favorite time to work on music.

Now You’ve DJ’d All Over Europe. What Brought You To The States?

I’ve DJ’d all over the world! I started in Europe and then left Greece when I was 26. Next, I went to London which is a great hub where I used to work as a promoter and DJ. After I expanded into Europe, I started working in Asia and Australia, and then two and a half years later, I moved to Brazil. Don’t ask why, but I moved to Brazil.

It was a great opportunity because I played all over Brazil and Latin America. And then I started expanding to the states. I started doing promotional gigs mostly because of visa issues. Lots of fundraisers. After Brazil, I moved back to Greece and that is where I met my husband who is from San Francisco. Six months later, we moved in together, got married, and moved to Greece. A few months later we decided to come back to the states so we can both work.
