Beginning his career at the age of 13, the past 25+Years has seen DJ LOGIKAL perform throughout
New Zealand, Australia, Asia, Turkey, U.K, U.S.A & Europe.
Not only spinning at International Nightclubs, Hotels & Resorts but also Performing on Stage at Major Festivals, International Concert Support, Charity Events, Product Launches, Corporate Events, Award Functions, Boat Parties, Extreme Sporting Events, Skate Comps, Private Celebrity Parties as well as Performing Live on Radio and Prime Time Music TV shows including; Channel V (Australia & Asia), MTV (Japan), TVNZ, MediaWorks, SkyTV & Maori TV (New Zealand), G4 TV (USA) & The Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards 2005 (Live from Sydney, Australia).
No Genre, Style or Era is safe from experiencing the DJ LOGIKAL process of limitless creativeness, leaving you with a new appreciation of ancient-modern ways, from Hip Hop/RnB to Rock, Funk to EDM.. Genre Specific or Open Format MashUp.
With early years of daily practice through passion honing his skills at home, DJ LOGIKAL was the First High School Student in New Zealand to convince his teachers to allow him to use " Turntables as a Musical Instrument " at High School for his 5th Form "School Certificate" (NCEA) Subject: Music Performance, pushing the boundaries of the National Education System, it was here whilst a kid at school DJ LOGIKAL recorded his first ever songs, and could be found throughout the school day in the Music Room "Studying" (Jamming) instead of being present in other curricular classes.
DJ LOGIKAL stepped on the scene Releasing his own Scratch Songs to Radio in 2000 and became a familiar face among the New Zealand Hip Hop Elite performing regularly both sides of the Tasman (New Zealand & Australia), leading on to be recruited as Personal Tour DJ for King Kapisi, Blindspott, Dubious Brothers, Dei Hamo, K'Lee, MC Hammer, Kiki Smooth (CPT) and Representing for Major International Brands & Sponsors such as Ecko Unltd, Red Bull, XBOX, Globe, Oakley, Boost Mobile & Serato.

Releasing his first commercial Music Video in 2002 at the fresh young age of 16 for his scratch single “Verbally Decapitating”, the song hit the NZ bNet Radio Charts claiming the #1 spot for many consecutive weeks, with the Music Video going on to Win a Kodak Music Clip Award in 2003 for Best Editor, and was included in "What Now's" Top 10 Music Videos of the year.

2004 was also the same year DJ LOGIKAL became part of the 3x Platinum Selling alternative metal band Blindspott (2004 - 2007).
