Dstrakt is a music artist and producer located in Brisbane, QLD, Australia, whose name comes from a combination of his given name Dallyn and a play on the word ‘distract’.
A prolific songwriter, Dstrakt has been crafting original songs and performing live since 2018 and has released four albums, 'This Is Me’, ‘Recess’, 'When The Time's Right', 'Leave The World Behind' and many singles throughout this time. Early in his writing career, Dstrakt challenged himself to write, record and release over 100 singles, which was achieved in late 2019. He is proud of meeting the goal of practising and improving his original content, keeping the themes non-repetitive.
Dstrakt describes his songs as modern and melodic combined with an old school hip-hop sound. The songs feature strong storytelling and life experiences. A breakdancer since the age of six, Dstrakt was introduced to the craft by his breakdancing uncles, who taught him a few moves, inspiring him to get interested and involved in the hip-hop culture. Dstrakt has performed internationally over the years as a dancer, and has now done the same as an artist; doing his first international performance in Shibuya, Japan in late 2025 with his brother 'Kay.Jay'.
Gradually, through the influence of the music he was dancing to, Dstrakt started experimenting with rapping, and eventually crafted his own tracks, self-producing, engineering and releasing many recordings. When the dance studio that Dstrakt had been training in for over 10 years closed down, he launched himself fully into a career in music and is working on new performances and releases.
