Born and raised in London’s "East End" Thompson found his early love for music through spending lots of time around his mother who played a large variety of different musical genres around the house from an early age.

Thompson’s passion, focus, and drive for music came from his days as a youngster playing sports to which he carries the same motivation and dedication reflecting within his track selection.

Late 2018, Thompson started to take up Mixing shortly after becoming a member of the Alma Casa family earlier in the year. It was only a matter of time before Thompson got the feel of the music and started to take up playing himself.

The sound that Thompson portraits of himself are of a more upbeat style of House, Deep Tech and Minimal.
