Daniël Majoor has been fascinated by electronic music since he was very young. As a child he listened to artists like Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre, OMD and everything that came close to that. With keyboards and borrowed synthesizers he let himself be inspired by his idols, while at the same time he learned to create his own sounds. Later he was able to slowly but surely put together his own studio and make his childhood dream come true.

Daniël has no musical education and makes music by ear and feeling. He does not see himself as a musician, but more as a "painter with sound". His music is often theme-oriented and has a broad spectrum.
