His Crazy Caribbean Style definitely shines through his music selection, his energy, and his food.
DJ Nasty Naz’s professional career in the music industry as a tour chef, tour hype man and a tour DJ has allowed him to work with artists like the Black Eyed Peas, The Game, Akon, Wyclef, Danny Fernandes and Sean Paul, to name a few. This attitude of continuously being on the grind has pitched this Trinidadian-born entrepreneur into a class of his own, with not only being a top DJ in the East Coast, but to having an award winning restaurant in Fredericton “Caribbean Flavas”.
His skills in the kitchen have allowed him to cater for a number of groups, including Akon, Sean Kingston, Girlicious, Hedley, The Trews, and even rock and roll legend, Leonard Cohen.
DJ Nasty Naz Flava of the Week will be a weekly column where Naz takes readers inside his world of cooking, performing and rubbing elbows with the stars.

Last week I have had a lot to be thankful for…and this week has been a big one for me. Not only do I have an amazing family, to always help (cover) my shifts when I go touring (shout outs to Johnny and Mama), but they always help keep me grounded.
Today, I was named one of the hottest DJ’s in the US (on a skill level…not on looks…we all know there aren’t many points to be won there…ha-ha). This prestigious hip hop magazine is an Atlanta based magazine – Ozone Magazine – with not only distribution in Atlanta, but in Miami and NYC as well. They surveyed all across the US, for the nations most influential DJ’s, who have continuously been on their grind and hustle. I was actually fortunate to attend their major music awards show in Miami, 3 years ago. It seems they have been following my path since then, and decided I would be THE ONLY Canadian DJ to grace the pages, with the likes of platinum selling artist – Pitbull ( yup that guy who sings that – 1, 2, 3, 4 I know you want me – song). They asked everything from “what’s my most embarrassing moment as a DJ” to “who’s my favourite artist to work with”
So in sticking with the ATL feel of things, that whole “Southern Hospitality” vibe just took over my senses. I had to do something for the vegetarians out there.
Southern food is comfort food, Creole, Cajun, soul food – Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers and Gladys Knight type food. There is quite an array of corn dishes (like corn bread, or corn muffins, even the famous Grits are always tasty, which Britney Spears eats for Breakfast by tha way. Not forgetting the fresh seafood like catfish and prawns. This made me remember a promoter out in New Orleans I met while on a show out there, instead of having dinner at the hotel, he just brought two very large cardboard BOXES of steamed prawns, and said I had to experience that southern hospitality vibe. I had never seen anything like that before. It was definitely an experience & messy, but good ha-ha. Some favourite Atlanta dishes include barbeque, black-eyed peas (nope not the artists…but the same name though , biscuits, okra and sweet potatoes.
