specifics
- Creative to the bone, always looking for new ways and new knowledge such as recording a garbage truck driving backwards to create a unique synthesizer.
- Loyal, I am looking for a company where I can get a lot of assignments and where I can stay for a long time to build a portfolio and develop myself in the field.
- Wide, I can handle almost any Digital Audio Workstation and own both a PC with production software and a Macbook for on the road or on-location productions/shootings.
- Connections, with access to one of the largest studios in the North of the Netherlands where even producer legends Noisia can be found every now and then, good production advice comes very close. (Noisia is known for official remixes for Robbie Williams, Katy Perry, Skrillex, Deadmau5 and The Prodigy and has also written music for the games Wipeout and did the complete music production for the game DmC: Devil May Cry).
- Cheap, I make music or sound effects for anyone with great pleasure and effort without any payment. This has been the fact that I have not been able to make a profession of it. Although I would like to see this change, I will never ask a high price for my productions. After all, I do what I like to do.
- Flexible and Punctual, I am an artist who is assumed to always be late but I personally believe that nothing could be further from the truth and that as an artist you must have a business attitude if you want to achieve your goal. This means clear deadlines, punctuality and flexibility if it happens that you have to work on a production at a time that is not convenient.
- Inspiration, I get it from everything and I make everything. My preference goes to the electronic side of music but I make classical, jazz, pop or rock music with just as much pleasure.

I started making music when I was 10, had a week of keyboard lessons and soon started coming up with my own songs.
In the years that followed, I learned to play several instruments as an autodidact and, through trial & error and reading books on music production, I learned more about producing music and all the aspects involved.
Currently the list of instruments I play includes Percussion, Bass Guitar/Guitar, Violin, Piano/Keyboard and I hope to add Saxophone to this list in the near future.
I love music and can spend hours perfecting the same piece, but because I constantly miss opportunities in the field I want to develop myself in (music producer for films, games and advertising), I have not yet had the opportunity to work on large projects.

On July 30th I released his second studio album together with an American friend of mine and on this album I worked on some songs and especially had a lot of input in the mixing and mastering of it.
I contribute to many free albums from Dubstep Rotterdam Records and play at various parties in Groningen and the west of the country.

I hope this biography still falls under the heading "short".
