Till "Turntill" Gerber was born on the 11th of November 1985 in Bern, Switzerland and grew up there. His father is a self-employed artist who always worked at home whilst listening to Blues, Jazz, Rock, Soul and Reggae music. This inspired Till to make his own music and when he was 9 years old, he began to play the drums. Around the same age he met an artist who completely changed his vision on art in general and who especially introduced him into Hip-Hop culture. Till became fascinated by this new world that had opened itself to him and he started breaking. In 1999 he bought his first DJ kit and started to learn "scratch" techniques and made mix-tapes. In 2001 he had his first official DJ set, which was the first in a long series of gigs. Turntill has always been interested in the root of music and has been digging through the crates of vinyl stores all around the world to find the original records on which Hip-Hop is based. Over the last years Turntill has produced his events and sold his mixtapes under the brand label "The Chosen Few" also known as "The Chosen Few Records". Turntill is seen in the hip hop scene as an important initiator, micro manager and mediator, who brings artists from various scenes together to carry out projects together. He is also respected for his quest to ensure the preservation and promotion of all aspects of the hip hop culture.
