Hailing from The Hague, The Netherlands, Kalou is a product of the vibrant musical atmosphere that surrounded him during his upbringing in the '90s. His household resonated with the melodies of Soul, Jazz, R&B, and Reggae, thanks to his father's constant immersion in these genres. This early exposure sparked Kalou's passion for collecting music at a tender age.

When he discovered electronic music, he was instantly hooked, prompting him to delve into spinning and producing as well. Over the years, his musical journey traversed through genres like 00s Dance, Soulful House, Deep House, and Lo-Fi House. Despite his varied interests, Trance music has always held a special place in his heart, evoking nostalgic memories of carefree days from his childhood, often reminiscent of riding in the back of his mom's car with the radio on.

Amidst the resurgence of the trance genre, Kalou has made a triumphant return! His ambition is to blend the euphoric sounds reminiscent of the '90s with present-day trance releases, often carrying nostalgic echoes of radio hits from the 2000s. For the very first time, Kalou experiences a profound connection with the audience, sensing a complete understanding while expressing himself behind the wheels.
