Born out of the Covid Pandemic, Dutch Experts is
inspired by the gothic landscape of The Cure, and melodic choices informed by Kate Bush and Cocteau Twins. Capturing a uniquely modern sound with an 80s sonic sensibility, undulating synths driven by chorus-laden bass and danceable drum beats, pair with Hoffman's euphonious soprano, paying homage to an aesthetic gone by.

School Yearbook - Class of 1990

* DJ at house parties in the SFV as well as some very dubious Hollywood Teen clubs. (2 Technics and a mixer, 2 crates of records, and a love of hip-hop).

* MC/Lyricist - "Season Of The Vic" from the LP, QD3 Soundlab, produced by QD3 (I had dreadlocks & rarely wore a shirt, but I was all over the radio, MTV-Raps, BET & Pump It Up in high school, so fuck it).

* Signed by Quincy Jones to Qwest/WB at 16 (After 2 years of working with and learning from QD3 his father signs me and the two become mentors to me, off to a good start).

* MC/Lyricist/Producer - Debut solo album, "My Field Trip To Planet 9". (A classic in the UK, too bad no one told me, stateside I was massive in Boulder and a few college campuses).

* Singer/Lyricist/Guitar/Keys - The Justin Warfield Supernaut, S/T Debut album. (An endearing but confused classic rock/grunge/pop band which had we had time to gestate could have been great).
