As a young boy, I discovered my love for music in 2003, when I first heard electronic dance music on the radio (a set by Paul Van Dyk).

I was immediately hooked and spent every moment learning more about the genre and immersing myself in it.

Eventually, I discovered DJ Tiesto's trance albums named “In Search of Sunrise” (the older and better ones).

I became captivated by his “Live at Clubspace” set. This was life-changing for me.

Listening to it repeatedly sparked a desire in me to stand on stage and bring happiness to others through my music too.

Over time, that desire faded into the depths of my being.

It was reignited years later when I stumbled upon the Mix.dj app.

Inspired, I bought my first DJ controller and began mixing music myself.

Later, I went wild with Psytrance for a very long time in south Germany.

Now, I return to “my roots” and focus on a leisurely progressive sound with deep house and melodic techno influences.

After a long struggle with myself, I have finally made the decision to make my own music and stop pushing my love for it to the side and wait for a better time.

Because when it comes down to it, there are very few things I would regret on my deathbed...

Not making music seriously is the biggest one.
