International GT, the Las Vegas-based multi-talent in the rap game, boasts a unique journey from earning a recording arts degree at Full Sail University to becoming a staff engineer at Patchwerk Recording Studios in Atlanta, GA.

From his debut album "Elevation" to the recently dropped "NIGHT OF THE WIN!" and the mind-bending "T.I.M.E." in 2022, International GT proves that "True Imagination Makes Everything."

James "Bonzai" Caruso, a six-time Grammy-winning sonic wizard with over three decades of experience, kicks off his legendary journey as a teenage prodigy at the Institute of Audio Research in Greenwich Village.

His mixing prowess caught the attention of legends like Sean "Puffy" Combs, Mary J. Blige, Notorious B.I.G., Missy Elliot, and more. Bonzai's magic touch extends to chart-toppers with Stephen Marley, shaping hits like "Welcome to Jamrock" and "Distant Relatives." From Alicia Keys to Mariah Carey, Gwen Stefani to Lenny Kravitz, Bonzai's sonic palette transcends genres. Beyond artists, he crafts original scores for films and TV, leaving his indelible mark on campaigns for Phillip Morris, CMT, Adidas, and more.
