Bear Grillz is an American EDM DJ who taught himself how to produce music on his MacBook Pro by watching YouTube tutorials. Loud bass, big production values and a steady stream of special guests are all hallmarks of a Bear Grillz tour. A typical show consists of several of Bear Grillz's friends and fellow DJs taking the stage, such as Midnight Tyrannosaurus, Wooli, p0gman and Terravita before Grillz begins his set. Bear Grillz will then hit the stage in his signature bear head and play songs from other famous artists. Those, plus his own hits, from F*ck Off to EDM, make a memorable mix of music that will keep the crowd raging from the first spin to the last.

RJ, professionally known as Bear Grillz, hit the EDM scene professing to be a bear who stumbled upon a MacBook Pro while living in Yosemite National Park. Bear Grillz gained experience touring with other major DJs. It was on tour where the idea for Bear Grillz was formed. He was a supporting act for Excision on his Paradox tour and spent time on tour with Datsik a few years earlier.
Bear Grillz's identity was originally kept a secret, obscured by his many bear costumes, but he then famously revealed himself to the country by going on the daytime talk show the Jerry Springer Show. Before his big unveiling, Bear Grillz always answered any questions and conducted any interviews as his Bear Grillz character. The Bear's persona was a sex-addicted, drug-addicted, angry bear with anarchist tendencies who had a casual dislike of humans.
