Being a musician for most of his life, Nuttyrat has always had a love and passion for providing entertainment and good times to everyone he encounters. That and a realization through a co-worker/DJ, DJ DannyK (now known as Colin Sick), that the art of DJing is a lot more than just throwing tracks together, built up his passion and want to be in the scene. DannyK took Nuttyrat under his wing and taught him the basics of the art, letting him develop his own musical style and genre preference. Because of his extensive musical background Nuttyrat was able to pick up on the basics quickly and soon after developed his skill. After having limited exposure in the club and house party scene, Nuttyrat had to sell his equipment so he could pursue his career ambitions.

Three years later Nuttyrat decides that he's had enough of sitting on the sidelines, the passion growing in him since the day that he sold his equipment. With limited funds he picked himself up some belt-driven tables, a basic mixer and some vinyl and started to re-live his musical passion and dream; to be able to add his personal contribution to any kind of party; to help people have fun. Nuttyrat became aware of a collaboration called Stereoshift that was organized by a few local DJ's. After joining their site he met a couple of people whom he soon looked up too because if their skill, their love for life, their pursuit of happiness, and a common desire to provide music for the sake of love, not the sake of a pay check. This lead to spinning at various house parties and personal shoutcast broadcasts, with Briden and Heidrogen always being there for motivation and encouragement.

Nuttyrat officially broke into the party scene when he got the chance to open both nights at Grasslands (July 15th-17th 2005). Watch the fliers in Kamloops, Vernon, Kelowna and Vancouver for this guy, he's gonna lay down some Funky House/Progressive House/Breaks just for you!
