Bookings: Promos: Info: "My father and sister played several instruments and my mother had a Roland synthesizer. I was 7 years old. This is where it all started for me. I tried to play the Roland and experimented by manipulating sounds and tunes. Trial and error teached me how to make inspiring sounds. Sounds for me are a very interesting thing. Sounds, not only of music, but also from daily life stuff: footsteps in a parking lot, wind blowing or even a ticking clock. Later I discovered Techno and eventually started playing. I was amazed by all the tracks that i could share with the crowd, sounds, effects, the vibe, the way people reacted to it, and most of all, what was happening inside of me! I wanted to make this kind of music. I was mesmerized... So i bought my first gear, it was a Roland MC909 and Logic audio. I started to experiment a bit and learned the tricks and trade by myself and through a music forum were I dropped my first try-outs I met Ramon Tapia. He was my very first guide. He would invite me a few times in his studio at USA Import Antwerp and share with me a lot of inspiration and knowledge about music. When it comes to music I get inspired by all kinds of events that occur in my life. I believe that my personal emotions are the basis for any musical creation. I might be a dreamer, but when I feel joy or anger, or when other emotions run high, I feel creativity tickle and that are the best moments to make a powerful track. And sometimes, like a writers' block, there comes nothing at all. And that is also good." Soulful Techno, Selador Rec, Sudbeat, Herzblut, Manual Music, Armada Music (THNK), Rhythm Converted
