The Geneva born multinational (Swiss, British and Australian) has been crafting and exploring electronic music made with machines since the late 90s. Working with a second hand MC-303 and a used Juno 106 synthesiser he worked on beats and pads that were heavily influenced by the classic old sounds emanating from Detroit, Chicago and New York as well as London and Berlin. 

Over the years his work has been steadily championed by many from the House and Techno scene, together with his imprint Hummingbird which has slowly been putting out his own music since 2010. This is evident in the regular support from the likes of Laurent Garnier, DJ Rolando, Vince Watson, Danny Tenaglia, Roy Davis Jr., DJ Sprinkles, DJ Bone, Ian Pooley, Fred P, nd_Baumecker, DVS1, Colin Dale, Gerd, Marcel Dettmann, Slam, Raresh, Marco Faraone, Tintonton Duvante, Passarani, Trevor Rockcliffe, Truncate, Terry Frances, Quarion, Brendon Moeller, Jimpster, Takaaki Itoh, Vincent Neumann, Alexi Delano, Tensal, De Sluwe Vos as well as radio features on NTS, KissFM, OpenLab Radio, RRFM and Pulse Radio.

As a DJ his music has taken him around the globe to perform at venues such as La Ruche, Club der Visionäre, Para, Weekend, Kantine, The Imaginarium, Chalet, Kiste, Sunday Breakfast Zurich, Griessmuehle, Brown Alley, Freedom Mills, Ministry of Sound New Delhi and for FUMP in Thailand.
