Hey everyone! Thanks for coming to page and checking out my story! A lot of DJ's and producers have other people write their bio for them, and although I have done that before, this time I felt like I wanted to write it myself.


Growing up in the 90's, I loved heavy metal bands and rock music like Metallica, Soundgarden and Stone Temple Pilots. But when my brother gave me my very first trance album, Paul Oakenfold's Tranceport, it was like nothing I had ever heard before! I discovered a love for trance and dance music, and it changed the direction of my life forever. I knew then that I needed to learn to make my own music!

However, making electronic music at the time was not easy, there weren't easily accessible resources or online tutorials, and I didn’t know what to do or how to start. Fortunately, in 2008 I met someone who made house music and was willing to teach me.  Ecstatic, I went over to his house every every week for more than a year and learned by watching him make music, until I could do it myself.

My hunger for making music grew and I discovered that I had a talent for it. But I was young, naive, and impatient.  I trusted the wrong people and unsurprisingly, it all fell apart.  Although I wanted to make a career out of it, I realized that I didn’t have the knowledge, experience, or support for such a massive undertaking.

I gave up even trying to make music for a few years.  I was angry, apathetic and frustrated - my dream had been crushed. But as they say, it is always darkest just before the dawn.  My dream didn't die, it just went dormant. In 2018, I serendipitously began taking piano lessons in the hopes that, if nothing else, I could be a good piano player, even if I never go to be what I really wanted in life. And then the pandemic happened......


When the pandemic hit, I was put at a crossroads with my life and I had to make a choice. Should I stay on the safe, comfortable path and let my dreams die, or take a chance and go for what I really want?  I decided to go for it, chase my dream, and bring it to life. That’s what this is about and this is who you will always get, the real me. Thanks for taking the time to read my story and I’ll see you on the dance floor!

The easiest way to navigate through my Soundcloud is to go to playlists as 'mixes - tracks - remixes etc'
Thanks for listening!

TRYAD sculpts luminous melodic techno landscapes where human voices become instruments of transcendence. Male and female vocals - sometimes haunting, sometimes euphoric - weave through intricate synth architectures, creating a signature sound that's both emotionally charged and rhythmically potent. This is electronic music with a heartbeat: expansive enough for festival skies, intimate enough for solitary midnight drives.
