About Me

Safe for checkin out my page. If you hadn't noticed already my name is Grafta, I'm from New Zealand and I represent the big bad sound of Dancehall inna Auckland City. I've been round a few years selecting, remixing, producing and promoting the riddim business. Currently I'm focussing on promoting our new club night 'Daybreak' alongside partner in crime FJ and bussing some sick refix business and production work. Looking to the future we see 2009 a buss off! For bookings email [email protected] or phone +64 (0) 21 1102 789
