Trevor McFedries (born November 27, 1985), better known as DJ Skeet Skeet, is an American disc jockey, producer, designer, and blogger based in Los Angeles.
Early Life
editDJ Skeet Skeet was born in Davenport, Iowa. A country kid from Iowa, Trevor had a successful run playing high school football, shredding in hardcore bands, and being awkward around girls. He had a less than successful run in college lasting a solid two semesters. Like most college dropouts, he moved back in with his mom and started throwing his life away by frequenting the LA party scene. A few too many nights out on the town paired with an affinity for Lil Jon, and DJ Skeet Skeet was born.
Music Career
editDJ Skeet Skeet started his musical career doing DIY parties in Hollywood with other up and coming DJs like Royal Rumble, LA Riots and Young Americans (now Classixx), eventually spinning his way into celebrity hot spots like Hyde, hipster hang-outs like Studio B, and big baller clubs in the Vegas, Atlantic City scene. In the last year or so, Skeet has been featured in the film The Haunting of Molly Hartley, played for crowds of more than 20,000 at festivals like Bacardi B-live, Bud Bowl, and Street Scene while simultaneously pumping out remixes for acts like Katy Perry, Danger Radio, Fergie, Boys Like Girls, Shop Boyz, and Shwayze.
Performing with Shwayze
editIn 2007, Skeet teamed up with Shwayze and Cisco Adler to complete the Shwayze outfit. Since then the band has made their mark with a billboard top 10 record, a top 40 single, a performance at KIIS' Wango Tango, TRL Live performances and a nationally televised commercial spot for the new Pontiac Vibe.
Warped Tour
editThis last summer Skeet was the first DJ ever to play the entire Vans Warped Tour; a traveling festival usually reserved for punk and indie rock bands.
Awards and Endorsements
editIn 2008, Skeet won Paper's People's Choice Award for Best DJ. He has garnered endorsements from Skullcandy and M-Audio and is recognized as one of eight DJs in the Pepsi DJ Collective.
