Brandy's passion for music started in his mother's records shop in the 70's.
A few years later, he began to learn how to use turntables to spread his wide musical culture.
After djing in several bars, he decided to go further by organizing occasional parties.
Creating moody atmosphere with fever, it worked beyond his hopes. Considering that a weekly booking was the next step, Brandy started with a team of friends the « Rêve dO » club every Friday night.
A crowd of open-mind party people, international djs, high quality music,the vibe is here, party on.
During this time, he put together a home studio and quickly began a friendly professional collaboration with one of the top quality underground label ; Koenies « Wallys Groove World Rec. ».
After some releases, Brandy continued his musical adventures by creating his own underground soulful deep-house label with two music lovers Rom & Nicolas ; « Foreplay Recordings ».
« Foreplay Recordings » was nominated as one of the leading labels in Belgium.
Working with Mateo & Matos, Yann Fontaine, Fabrice Lig, Osunlade, Kobayashi,the label was growing fast.
Begin 2001, Brandy was signed by the famous French label «Yellow Production » for the Africanism Project and also for the « Bossa Très Jazz Volume 2 ».
His maxi single called « Ritual » remixed by Château Flight was acclaimed by a huge success 6 months before his public release. It was quoted in the playlist of Raïner Trubï, Dixon, Osunlade,
Begin 2004, Brandy worked on a project with Edmundo Carneiro ( percu of Saint-Germain)...a duo with Brandy as DJ and Edmundo playing percu, live.
At the same time, Brandy stopped his collaboration as DJ and artistic manager of Rêve d'O because of different points of view.
Brandy wants to be free to give the artistic way he wants to the events he organises so he creates his own concept called "Glamorama".
These are occasional parties that many people consider to be one of the best belgian parties of these last years.
