SHIRTLIFTER was first influenced by electronic music with the invasion of electro-pop disco and punk back in the early 80's. His first DJ residency came at the age of 18, and soon after started creating music as part of a prolific production team called Boy's Life. In the late 90's Shirtlifter teamed up with U.K. legend DJ Paul Walker to pursue more underground musical interests. Now, as a solo recording music artist, Shirtlifter continues to push his diverse-influenced house music sound, and re-mix internationally from his Toronto base. SHIRTLIFTER is a red jello addict , and his mantra includes : "I wish I were an Oscar Meyer wiener". His biggest pet peeve is a barbed wire toilet seat. The band enjoys watching the Price is Right while formulating new ideas for up-and-coming Shirtlifter material. Bad is good...good is better. Shirtlifter, also a magician, continues self-levitation, and wishes to one day recover his crashed UFO .
