Three years. Three national titles. One woman had ever done it.

The DMC World DJ Championships have run since 1985 and are the oldest and most demanding competition in turntablism. National champions qualify for the world final; the routines are six minutes long, performed live, and judged on technical execution, originality, musicality and composition.

She reached the Canadian final for the first time after years on the Toronto circuit. In 2022 she won it. In 2023 she won it again and carried the title to London, where she finished in the top nine at the Technics DMC World Finals — the strongest field the sport assembles. In 2024 she won the Canadian title for a third consecutive year.

No woman in the history of the championship had taken three national titles in a row. The same year she was competing at DMC, she reached the technical category finals of the IDA World DJ Championships, which made her the only woman to have competed at all four majors: DMC World, IDA World, the Goldie Awards and Red Bull 3Style.

DEEJAY T-JR. is a Toronto-based turntablist and the most decorated Canadian DJ of her generation. Between 2022 and 2024 she won the DMC Canadian DJ Championship three years running, and in 2023 she represented Canada at the Technics DMC World Finals in London, finishing in the top nine.

Her competitive record spans all four of the sport’s majors. Alongside the DMC titles she reached the technical category finals of the IDA World DJ Championships in 2023, competed at the Goldie Awards in 2019, and placed third at Red Bull 3Style Canada in 2018.

Competition is the credential; the work is the room. She performs for corporate clients including MLSE, the Government of Ontario and the Fairmont Royal York, for private events where discretion is the brief, and for clubs and festivals across North America, South America, Europe and Africa. Her audience is concentrated in the United States, Brazil, France, the United Kingdom and South Africa — current figures are in the media kit.

She has showcased at NAMM and performed in Pioneer DJ product showcases. She is a University of Toronto science graduate, and through the GIE DJ Academy she teaches the next set of DJs coming out of Toronto, with particular attention to the ones who, like her, do not see themselves in the booth yet.

Since then she has crossed to the other side of the table. In 2025 she hosted the 40th Technics DMC World DJ Championships in Tokyo, the first world final held in Asia, and as DMC Canada branch manager she ran the 2026 Canadian championships in Toronto. That same year she was invited to DJ Jazzy Jeff’s PLAYLIST Retreat. More on all three.
