DJ Nana is a lover of music like few others claim to be. He has been spinning records for over ten years and is a force to be reckoned with. Originally from Ghana and raised in a small town in Southern Ontario, Nanas upbringing is what stimulated his love for music. He is an artist, deejay, performer, producer, music supervisor, and promoter who has become a pillar in the Toronto music scene. Nana believes that the art of spinning is a science. Playing music for a crowd requires great technical and expressive skill. He has the ability to read the hearts and minds of the individuals in the crowd and find the music that they are longing for; this requires a great degree of observation and intuition.
Although experienced, Nana continues to build on his natural ability striving towards the next level. He finds the perfect string of sounds to get people to turn their heads and lift themselves out of their seats. His ultimate aim is to inspire others, bridge gaps and set new artistic standards of integrity infused with creativity. Obtaining a degree in Fine Arts Cultural Studies from York University, Nana has learned to appreciate the value of an interdisciplinary approach to turntabilism. His vast knowledge of musical culture, history, and evolution of sound has allowed him to tune into the needs of every audience.
Nanas influences range from the predictable, (Wu Tang Clan, Saukrates) to the not so obvious, (Zamfir, Portishead,) as well as everything in between. Adaptability is the name of his game; from trendy nightspots, stilettos, and glam to underground meccas, with hoodies and bling Nanas innovative ways are able to move every crowd.
Appearing on Much Music's MuchVibe and Rogers Sportsnet's NBA XL, as deejay and guest correspondent, Nana spins a mix of Hip Hop, House and R&B and Reggae. Winning the coveted NOW Magazine award for having the best weekly event in Toronto, Nana is no stranger to when it comes to pleasing the crowd. His impressive list of credits includes long-standing residencies in Toronto and Montreal, as well as sharing the stage with The Roots, K-OS, Saul Williams, K'naan, Bedouin Soundclash, Likota Son, and M1 of Dead Prez.
More recently, Nana appeared on the March 21, 2008 cover of NOW magazine as part of the “Next Shit” showcase as one of Toronto’s up and coming artists. No sound is left untouched as he goes from classic crate gems, forgotten about soul treasures and international melodies. Nana is dedicated to music and will continue to show people his love for organized sound through the art of Djing and through the music he chooses to spin for his waiting audience.

THE WORLD INSIDE MY HEAD V2
(released 2007)
The production side of NANA encompasses a sound that is lush and heavy, soulful and raw, as he takes risks that other producers aren't willing to. Overcoming the struggle to associate with only one genre, NANA let his varying moods and tastes take over his creativity, uniting many sounds into his own. His meticulous production has been showcased in the music of such artists as Planet Asia, S Roc of Brassmunk, Tumi of Tumi and The Volume, Kamau, Grimace Love of Monolith, and MC Collizhun. With a number of internet releases, podcasts and an EP to his credit, as well as producing the theme and background music for the 2005 Urban Music Awards, NANA is primed to release his first full-length production on URBNET Records in November of 2007.
