The DJ from The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Stephen “tWitch” Boss, died, according to his wife, in what Los Angeles media believed to be an apparent suicide.
The DJ and dancer were reportedly discovered on Tuesday in a hotel in the city with what seemed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to the entertainment website TMZ.
Stephen “tWitch” Boss established himself as a natural entertainer from his earliest days as a fledgling dancer, “lighting up every room he stepped into” with his contagious energy and exuberant excitement – which ultimately drove him into the bright lights of Hollywood success.
Since audiences on the Ellen Show have been screaming it at the top of their lungs for years, his charismatic demeanor and love of movement gave him the moniker that would eventually become synonymous with his starry character.
This week’s terrible suicide death of tWitch at the age of 40 put an abrupt and surprising stop to what had been a strong ascension up the infamously precarious celebrity ladder.
The Montgomery, Alabama native who rose to fame on social media arrived on the scene with the same energy he brought to his dancing, which he has loved since he was a little child and enjoyed performing for his family members.
These early abilities served only as the foundation for a ridiculous nickname at first.
Still, they would later lay the groundwork for a tremendous career that spanned talk shows, reality television, and social media superstardom.
tWitch belonged to a religious family
Stephen tWitch was a member of a devout family and practiced Christianity.
The dancer later claimed that he was “raised Christian” and that his Alabaman heritage was a significant factor in helping him maintain his sense of reality after becoming famous.
He earlier said about his native state, “I’m really pleased to be from there,” adding, “Its history is very profound.”
Before moving to Los Angeles to further his profession, the Alabama native studied dance at Chapman University and Southern Union State Community College.
His fascination with the dancing form known as “popping,” which has a sequence of jerky moments that his peers felt reminded them of someone “twitching,” is how he first acquired the moniker “tWitch” as a teenager.
He remarked, “I was always whirling and keeping in motion,” and added, “I don’t mind it at all.” It has merged with my ego and has become a part of who I am.
People in his life began calling him to tWitch shortly after that. He claimed that the nickname was especially meaningful to him because he had previously used it to refer to his Toyota Paseo automobile.
He said, “A lot of my dance knowledge and a lot of my dance thinking happened in that car.”
He entered the realm of reality television in 2003 when he participated in MTV’s The Way Robson Project, finishing third.
After that, he participated in Star Search again and finished in second place.
