Santigold

Troy Baker's multicultural upbringing split between Jamaica, England, and the U.S. laid the foundation for his genre-fluid career in music. Immersed in the industry from a young age through his family's label, "Gee Street Records", he started his music journey at Jamaica's GeeJam Studios at age 12, leading to him engineering and producing artists across genres by his teens.
His sound blends dancehall rhythms with dub's atmospheric textures, drawing inspiration from time spent in Jamaica's Drapers village, where he mentored emerging local artists and new talent Islandwide. Alongside Dale 'Dizzle' Virgo, he co-founded the production duo "DizTroy", crafting Agent Sasco's acclaimed "Banks of the Hope"—a track that bridges Jamaican tradition with modern experimentation.
A longtime collaborator of producer Dave 'Switch' Taylor (Diary Records), Baker balances label projects like the genre-blurring "Wayward World" and "TBS" series with independent releases under his own "TBS Records". Since 2022, he's been a key creative partner for M.I.A., co-producing music, and live DJ sets for her tours, including tracks like "Babylon" (released as an NFT) and "MATALIFE" from her album "MATA".
He is currently touring as "TroyBakerSound" (opening for Santigold), he merges live production with original films, reflecting his dual focus on audio and visual storytelling. His dedication to sonic precision also drives "Beat di System", a custom-built sound system crafted in Los Angeles. He creates bespoke stacks designed as both functional tools and artistic installations.
In 2025, Troy is set to launch his groundbreaking music series, "Tek Charge", featuring original foundation tracks paired with dynamic "Tek Charge Mixes" tailored for diverse audiences. The inaugural release will debut with a collaboration between Troy and Jamaican dancehall sensation Skeng, including both the original single and its "Tek Charge Mix".
