Name. Description.

Where did this name come from?
Born Cire
Antony Citron
and wanting to fit in with
such a rare name as Cire, he used his middle name
Antony which became "Tony" and was eventually nicknamed
"T".
“The T”, according to the dictionary, is the epitome of
something ...as in,
“his mix is flawless, he is the T.”
Also of interest, the surname Citron
“is
believed to be the purest of them all, since it is
usually fertilized by self-pollination...”
not sure how that
applies,
so let’s continue...lol
Pronounced
T, PRO,
MIX
TPROMIX (just
T to his friends) stands 6'2", with tattoos, talent and
an exotic blend of heritage this world class
DJ/Producer is a name well respected in the music
business. After producing his first solo record, he
almost gave up the biz because so many of the
DJ/Producers he looked up to showered him incredible
accolades. He said he "felt like he already did what he
wanted to do, now the rest was gravy". That was well
over a decade ago...
T arrived NYC via Washington DC at the tender age of
17, having already played as resident to DC's largest
club. He soon continued his success in NY playing
clubs like the legendary Limelight, Roxy, Tunnel, Milk,
Octagon, Warehouse, Spectrum (the club from Saturday
Night Fever), CafeConLeche, Escuelita, Exit, Krash,
Cheetah and the HotBoyz Pride Events featuring Mary J
Blige, Lil Kim & Ashanti. Want more? Ok, he played
a private party at Space 4 Trina & Eve, filled in 4
Danny Tenaglia at Vinyl and also had the privilege of
being a 5-year resident DJ @ NY's most popular club
SPLASH while partying with the likes of Mariah Carey,
Britney Spears, Bette Midler & Janet Jackson.

And yes, even humorously, the notorious record that
started it all...
Wonder Woman.
Finding an even larger following with each mix under
his belt, T-PRO started a couple of notorious lil
parties in New York City.
The first was an extension of his earliest stab at
promoting in Washington DC called MILK. MILK Mondays
was the brainchild of TPRO along with original partner
Ed Bailey (Tracks DC / Velvet Nation). MILK started on
sundays at the Fifth Column Nightclub in Washington DC
on Sundays. After a somewhat short life and T moving to
NYC, he re-envisioned MILK to Mondays. Starting at the
WEB on the upper east side of Manhattan, then moving to
SOUND FACTORY BAR, then CHAMPS, then KING, then to its
final demise on 16th Street. MILK was one of the
longest running theme parties in NYC history, surviving
through 5 venue changes and 8 long years.
Second was a festive Latino function that ran 4 years
in NYC and 1 year in Miami called CUCHIFRITO. T thinks
party names should have deeper meanings then just
PARTY, although that is 2 the point. CUCHIFRITO, like
MILK before it had 2 meanings. CUCHIFRITOS are a chain
of Spanish Harlem food shops with, shall we say, some
extra non-healthy foods. T passed by one such shop
night after night, looking at the blood sausages, pork
fats and day old greasy chickens. One night it hit him.
The food there was kind of like nightlife. You didn't
necessarily NEED anything they were serving, but
sometimes you really WANTED it.
Along the way T created many theme parties

He also co-promoted the 3 legendary
annuals called "Castillo De Carnaval" thrown at the
Mansion / Residence of Photographers Bob Risse &
Luiz Guimaraes.
The tradition of long running theme nights seems to be
coming true again with his forth year at the helm of
TASTEE, a Thursday Night party at TORPEDO in Ft
Lauderdale that has T's signature MIX of HIPOP, Electro
and Tribal flavor and shows no sign of stopping.
He also continues 2 DJ/VJ @ SPLASH in NYC, reports 4
BILLBOARD magazine's dance chart, is hip-hop music
columnist 4 several magazines, does graphic and web
design and even finds time 2 produce some of the best
DVD visual installations (a/k/a Ttv) 4 clients all over
the world.
His last commercial CD, TRIBAL PLEASURES, was the
biggest selling Remix CD in the Jellybean Recordings
history. Followed up by the free release and floor
filler "Switch it Up" by CITRONELLA, Remixes Of “Fuck
You” By Lily Allen off her Latest CD “It’s Not Me, It’s
You”;, Remixes for John Legend’s “If Your Out There”
from his latest and the forthcoming THINK AGAIN CD full
of original tracks due out October 2009, T shows no
sign of stopping the beats anytime soon.
Whether Video Remixing, Music Production, Staging,
Graphic Design, or DJing...
T is truly bringing multimedia 2 the masses.
Well-mannered, well skilled, well loved, & well,
just plain cute.
