DJ Rasoul

Real Name:
Guy Nado
Profile:
Rasoul's early childhood was filled with learning experiences from both school and his family. He drew inspiration from many things, most importantly a love of the visual arts.

During his high school days Guy was immersed in a musical household. "My dad was into music a lot and has always been friends with a lot of African musicians." He promoted lots of reggae and African bands (in the SF Bay Area) which enhanced my love for music.

Currently RaSoul is a major influence in West Coast House sound. 2001 has been a highly successful year. Guy has played all over Europe, South Africa, North America and Mexico. Heâll finish the year off with dates in Australia and Indonesia.
