Hailing from Arakura, Wainuiomata, DJ Nate aka. Nate Russell (Ngati Kahungunu) multi talented skilled. He is fully into his kaupapa maori.
Nate has been involved in many fields within Maori Art & Maori Music. He loves Wainuiomata as a big heart of home for him as just about everyone here knows him, he says "Chur! Wainuiomata, the place I love to be at aye! It's where the pukana smiles at! Everywhere you go there will be a pukana smile, I love it! I know alot of people here, I go down town sometime and I hear alot of people calling out my name and saying they listen to my show then they would call out my favorite quote... Mauri Ora!"
His nickname, everyone calls him "Pit" "PitBull and "Big Fullah" His music skills have been working alongside with Aaron Davey from DoughBoy Records & Neil Cruikshank from Maori Music.com & Tangata Records aswell as MC ChoirBoy aka. John Hickson.
Nate & John have been friends since the young age, Nate says "I took John into the Studio for his 1st recording with Aaron Davey at DoughBoy Records on his 1st big hit "Inside Of Me" which is on the Album "Gifted & Maori Volume 2" and now in the outlets store and we then welcome John onboard with us at DoughBoy Records, Inside of me is a primo song that I've heard written in a while, the song is based on the Hikoi for the Seabed/Forshore"
Nate also has a very contemporary styles of music which involves alot of Hiphop, RnB & Reggae, Old Skool & Gospel, & he does his beat making and now he's here with us at "Tha Rage FM" where he's coaching the Youth on DJ'ing, passing on his skills so they can use it as a good choice.
He says "I find that having the younger DJ's here with us at Tha Rage FM is pretty rhythmic aye, really versatile and listened intently to each other. I'd like to see some more rangatahi, the youth of Wainuiomata joining the team as we could even trade and learn something from them, and then expand a wide variety, it could
even be a new culture for themselves!"
