During my college years I started spinning and obsessively collecting vinyl. Meeting like-minded souls like Mr.Scruff, Jazzanova, Philarmonix, Waldo and Aidanh I felt the urge to share my musical background and passion through deejaying and music journalism. I started reviewing and interviewing for the late Plastiks magazine. Later on I traded my pencil for HTML-code and became a contributor for Philarmonix' musical platform Metronomic-Family. I had the chance to interview some of my musical heroes such as such as Gilles Peterson, Mr. Scruff, Swell Session, Ayro, Amp Fiddler, John Arnold, Earl Zinger, Michael Reinboth, Carl Craig, Fréderic Galliano, Maurice Fulton, Cinematic Orchestra, Dwele, Fertile Ground, Phil Asher, Aim, Keb Darge, Sandboy, Spacek, New Mastersounds, Tweak, Kosma, Ron Trent, Faze Action, Ben Westbeech, Soil & "Pimp" Sessions and many more.

Being born into and raised by a family of musicians, making music has always been my main motivation. Eager to further develop those skills, I've been taking jazzclasses in Antwerp and Brussels since early 2005. With a couple of musical projects running and others in the making, I hope to finalise that home studio soon... so new productions can find their way within the global freestyle-musical network. Word!
