The Doctor, originally from Australia, has been mixing it up all over the world for over 30 years.
He started his DJ career back in the late 90's in Spain. He then moved across the pond to Miami where he took to the Hard House scene that swept the US over the Millennium.

An urge to get back to his musical roots found him back in Spain in 2001 where he opened "BED", a bar/club famous for it's attention to funky beats and outrageous parties. This was based on the Balearic island of Mallorca, so logically The Doctor split his summers between here and the party island of Ibiza.

With a thirst to discover new music scenes, he set sail in the winter of 2003 for Antigua in the Caribbean, where he mixed up a storm in Abracadabra's and various unnamed beach parties for the seasons.

Again being drawn back to Spain, The Doctor then opted for the bustling clubs of Barcelona where he pleased crowds with his now evolving Electro/Breaks sound. This then inspired a 12 month tour of Asia including all the biggest clubs and parties that Thailand and Malaysia had to offer.

Moving back to Australia, The Doctor then started his own monthly events including "We Love House" & "Super Sunday Session", both focusing solely on pure House Music.

The Doctor is now based in Phuket ,Thailand, and signed to Australian based agency, "Inbedproductions"
With an incredibly busy schedule, The Doctor can be seen playing alongside internationally acclaimed artists at clubs and events worldwide and with such versatility, its always a surprise to see what style he is going to break out, with the Doctor producing and spinning sets from all genres, including Funk, House, Tech House, Deep House, Progressive House, Electro, Breaks and even Disco!

15 Reasons is a Brussels based power rock-metal band that draws inspiration from modern hard-rock-metal outfits such as Stone Sour and Godsmack without hiding their undeniable roots feeding off bands like Metallica & Alice in Chains. While the band has been around for a few years with Valéry Granson (guitars) and Fred Werner (drums) at the helm, 15 Reasons has finally tapped into its full potential with the addition of Nicholas Brynin (Bass & Vocals) in 2012. Between the three of them they have played some of the most prestigious venues and festivals in Belgium such as Durbuy Rock Festival, Francofolies, Fête de la Musique, Orangerie Botanique, VK and a memorable support spot for Channel Zero at the Biebob. They also had a chance to play the massive Sziget Festival in Budapest in 2012 alongside The Killers, Placebo and Korn to name but a few.

Things are moving fast for the new line-up as 15 Reasons is on the brink of releasing its third album, entitled 'The Art of Commitment' on 31 January 2014. The album will be released via Graviton Music Services, home to some heavy hitters like Channel Zero, Cayne and Last Day Here. The album was mixed and mastered by François Dediste at Ear we Go Studios who was also responsible for their last effort, Second Coming (Suburban, 2010). Having already released two full-length albums, survived tough some line-up changes and played countless live shows since 2006, the ‘The Art of Commitment’ makes for a fitting tile. Unlike the past two albums (Equilibrium & Second Coming), this album has been a true creative collaboration between the three members of the band with Val bringing in the riffs, Fred handling the lyrics and Nicho creating the melodies. Half the songs were road tested live for a year before recording them with the other half enjoying on-the-spot creation in the studio, resulting in a mature yet spontaneous set of songs. Uncompromising, determined and focused are but a few words that could be used to describe their latest effort.

‘The Art of Commitment’ showcases an eclectic collection of songs about rabbit holes, broken mirrors and the damage done... “The broken shards of glass fall down onto my feet, A million eyes stare back to me in disbelief, Mirror mirror on the wall, Set me up to take a fall....” is an example of the dark yet tongue-in-cheek nature of the lyrics featured in the song, ‘Mirror/Mirror’. The album showcases a wide range of influences from power-rock to metal with a touch of post/groove metal to boot. Lead guitarist Val delivers some monstrous seven string riffs and can shred with the best of them. Drummer Fred is a hard-hitter who lays down heavy grooves that support the thunderous bass lines, creating a monster low end. Nicho brings back to life the term ‘power vocalist’ and he stays true to form with an emotionally-charged, breathtaking performance from start to finish. There is no possible way that 15 Reasons can be accused of being one-dimensional with their latest effort. Moreover, it is an archetypal album that defies what new bands in the hard rock and alternative metal scene are doing at the moment. 

15 Reasons has received regular airplay on Belgium’s rock channels, reaching number one on the Dynatop music chart with the last effort, Second Coming. They have been reviewed extensively in the Belgian and Dutch media and their music is available via i-tunes, local FNAC and Free Record shops as well as most e-music shops.
