American songwriter, artist, filmmaker, Dj, actor, and content creator. Born in Atlanta, Ga Gregory Edwards aka Dj Westside was raised on a street named Ashby near Simpson Rd and The Bluff which is now known as the english avenue community. While being surrounded by crime, drugs, violence and other negative influences Westside always wanted to do something to help his family and would express himself through making music. He took his closet in a ran down apartment and transformed it into a recording booth and every talent from the neighborhood would come to rap and make records. Some of those artist would later become great names being acts like Young Scooter, Rich Homie Quan, 24 Heavy and others. Westside would keep working on music all the way up until he moved out of his dad’s apartment to eventually build his own studio and take on the title as a Producer / Artist. Things were up and down with music until two of Westside’s mentors Greg Taylor and Theophilus “Chip” Glass would introduce him to Xavier Hargrove (Dj Big X) who was the Ceo Of The Coalition Djs. After being introduced to X, Westside found himself becoming more involved with being a Dj more than a producer & artist as he would start gigging in clubs and producing on the side. This would be the start of something amazing, with the influence of the Coalition Djs who are currently some of the most influential figures in the music industry Westside’s career would become bigger than he could imagine. Westside would go from a Dj in the club to a Dj and filmmaker traveling the world with some of the biggest names in the game. Westside’s first american tour would be with artists Kevin Gates, and Solo Lucci, following that he would meet Jamal Inman who introduced him to international superstar Akon who later become a big brother figure. After years of being in the mix with Akon and various other huge names Westside decided to start mentoring himself. He met a young man by the Name of Jaymo who he saw much potential in and reminded him of himself so he started working him and they both began producing artists together, Jaymo had a talent with the harp instrument and Westside who was already a filmmaker gave them both a great idea, “you play the harp and I will record it”....This idea would grow from just a thought to a platform where artist could perform and display their talents acoustically. They would call this platform Harp Szn. Present day Westside is doing the things he loves daily, working with artists, staying connected and is the owner of a few companies. Westside quotes “ With being where i’m from to where i am today i know it’s a blessing, i just want to help others grow and continue to follow this journey with God as my lead....Anything is possible with faith and hard work.”
