Early Music Career
Darkrai was a huge fan of metal music and wanted to play guitar on his own band or alone. Darkrai got his own band and was a success and he, alone, was placed at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. This however, did not please Darkrai since his band helped him with his songs. Upset, he disbanded the band and went to form a new band.

Nighthalen
Darkrai was the founder of the band. He found Nights and Reala auditioning for a singer and guitarist and asked them to join the band he was forming and they both agreed. Darkrai as the lead guitarist, Nights as singer and rhythm guitarist and Reala also as singer and rhythm guitarist. Reala asked Darkrai for his friend Jackle (who he says is an excellnt drummer) for the drummer. Nights agreed, but Darkrai wanted to see his skills. Jackle showed his skills as a drummer and was completely impressed and was added as the drummer. Darkrai later found Meta Knight all alone in a valley with a guitar playing it for money. Darkrai gave him 80$ for his performance and asked Meta Knight to join his band, which he gladly accepts. Mewtwo was later added as bassist which Darkrai though it was a good idea. At the end the month, Darkrai named the band Nighthalen.

Favorite genre
Most fans ask if Darkrai's music genre is Heavy Metal or Speed Metal. Darkrai stated: “They still can't figure it out. Heh. Didn't I tell them in concerts that it's the first one in my genre's list in the wiki. But don't worry, they will figure it out”. Finally, one fan gussed Power Metal. After that, Darkrai said: “They finally guesed it. I want that lucky fan to come to me to give him a prize”. Darkrai gave that fan, one of his Gibson guitars.

Darkrai made over a trillion autographs and millions of photos. Everytime Darkrai finishes a concert, people come to take autographs and pictures of him. Darkrai once stated: "I have taken so many pictures and did so many autographs, my hand is broken for possibly a day".
