Artist History Born in 1971 Maassluis, the Netherlands, I grew up listening to all kinds of music (Jarre, Vangelis, Queen, etc.). At elementary school I noticed that I could play and memorize music much easier then the other kids but at that time I was not really interested in music…yet. That all changed when I was about 14 years of age. With my old synthesizer, a Korg Poly Six, I imitated every tune I heard on the radio. One day I heard a classical piece played with synthesizers and a church organ. Wow, that sounded so big, so huge. It was a piece by Widor, the Toccata from Symphony no. 5. It totally overwhelmed me. I wanted to hear more and I started to listen to different classical organ pieces. Not long after that I decided to take organ lessons. A year later I got lessons on a real church organ and I started to study the pieces from Widor, Franck, Bach, Reger, etc. After seven years of organ lessons I had to stop because at that time my science education, going out and getting drunk took up most of my time... and my money, so I sold my instruments. A couple of years later, when I was graduated and working my day job, I played with some synths at my friend’s house. I just could not stop playing. I had to buy the equipment myself again and so I did. I started to make songs and decided to put them on the internet (mp3.com). The response was overwhelming and after a year I was actually making money with it. With 2,5 million listens to my music it was getting quite known out there and I started to get some offers for different releases. I did some and declined some, resigned my day job and started composing and producing fulltime.
