Biography

1. Girl Talk is the stage name of Gregg Gillis (born October 26, 1981). Gillis, who is based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has released five CD albums on Illegal Art and vinyl releases on 333 and 12 Apostles. He began making music while a student at Case Western Reserve University. He specializes in sample-based remixes, in which he uses at least a dozen elements from different songs to create a new song. At his early shows, Gillis became notorious for his exhibitionist antics on stage, spontaneously removing most or all of his clothing mid-performance. He has given different explanations for the origin of his stage name, once saying it alluded to a Jim Morrison poem and once saying it alluded to an early Merzbow side project. He has also stated that “Girl Talk” is simply the opposite of what one would think when picturing a man playing music with a laptop.

Girl Talk was featured in Good Copy Bad Copy and Rip! A Remix Manifesto; both documentary films about copyright/fair use.

2. Girl Talk is the name of a British 80’s eurodisco duo consisting of sisters Karen & Julie Wright.

3. Girl Talk is the name of a Norwegian jazz trio. The band was formed by Bodil Niska in 1992, and consists of Elizabeth Walker on the piano and Tine Asmundsen on the bass. Their first album, Talkin’ Jazz, was recorded in 1992.

    it's hilarious that he's criticizing mashups when he listens to large amounts of sample based music.

    Is it good or bad to not be sure if parts that work so perfectly in girl talk songs are part of the original songs or added by GT? also Girl Talk sucks he uses popular music samples and anything that is popular is bad.

    Wow! You guys really do like anything, no matter how bad it is. I listened to Girl Talk's 'Feed The Animals', and thought it was total crap. I get lots of music to listen to from the library, and usually grab the at random ( I have come across many artists I like this way). GT is NOT one of them. At first I thought someone had switched 'Feed The Animals' with someone's (bad) mixtape compilation. But upon further research (here and Amazon) I find that this is really his work. Actually, it is someone's else's work. A lot of someone else's! Is all of his "work" like this?

    The only thing I DON'T like about Girl Talk is I hear a sample from a song I haven't heard in a forever and feel the need to pause Girl Talk and look it up on youtube. [2]
