Born in Louisville, KY in 1979, Tyrohn Brooks aka “obitykenobi” considers himself a “true bi-product” of the legendary Soul Train Era. Influences include Motown, 70's R&B, Funk, Soul, Jazz, Disco, and Hip-Hop. At the age of 5 he expressed his love of music at Champs', the local skating rink through rollerskating as well as jam-skating. All throughout the 80’s, a solid music foundation with Michael Jackson was leading the influence. After the musical shift towards Hip Hop in the 90's, Ty hung up the skates and began pop-and-locking, breakdancing and eventually attended his first “massive rave” in Clevland, OH in 1998. The headliners included Fab 5 Freddy, Rob Base & DJ E Z Rock, Afrikaa Bambataa, and a guy named Q-Bert. The atmosphere is what would start a new chapter in his musical conquest. To see thousands of people dancing like their life depended on their moves was inspiring and he didn’t hesitate. He started attending parties all over the Mid-West and eventually found himself in Detroit in 2004, which he says, “Changed my life forever. I witnessed Stacey Pullen, Kevin Saunderson, Derrick May, and Jeff Mills, all in the same night and was even able to talk to each one of them!!”        
 
From there on he was sold on wanting to be able to produce the same energy as those musical-pioneers. “They completely set the bar for my standards.”
 
In 2009, he conceptualized and created the Disco Aliens brand, while forming with the original members and immediately became known all over the Mid-West and eventually throughout the country. Side projects included his first solo release on Transplant Recordings, “The Gift”, as well as a collaborative project, “The Dark Matter” with John Napier and featuring Visionary Artist, “Jumbie” providing vocals. Releases include, “Bounce” - picked up by Angel Alanis’ label White Noise, and “Barrel of Monkeys”. The group followed with another release under Spoiled Rotten Records featuring Lady Carol titled, “Peepr Man”.
 
In July of 2013, he moved to Los Angeles, CA and attended SAE Institute to study and learn the techniques of studio recording, console mixing, mastering, post production, sound for video games and a slew of other audio related trades. Since, he has diligently furthered his knowledge while becoming an Audio Engineer, studying under some of the most highly-respected industry names to date.

After completely severing all ties with the Disco Aliens due to directional differences, his sound has refined, he has curated his sets to fit his style, and it has proved to be a wise decision. “I had to stay true to myself, my integrity, and had to blaze a new trail.” 

From 2015 to the present, Ty has been a noble presence in the worldwide audio community, showcasing one of the most revolutionary plugins to date at NAMM, SonarWorks Reference 4, which is now called Sound ID. Keep your eyes peeled when it comes to this guy. You never know what he is going to do next. 

2021 was a breakout year for him as he celebrated 20 years on the 1’s and 2’s and made the crossover to broadcasting and streaming by developing the, "I Came to Get Down Radio" mix series which are each respectively, "their own grooves and subplots and can hold their own to any dance floor, but collectively tell a story of the journey that music has taken me through over the years."
 
“I started DJ'ing in 2001 playing Techno and House music and have dipped into the likes of Drum n Bass and Breaks, but Techno will always be the center of my attention.”

“It’s always been and will always be about the music to me, otherwise we’re all just standing there trying to figure out what to do.”
