Mert was born in North Cyprus. Since he was child he had a big passion for dance music. He was going to day parties back in the 1995 when jungle was the scene just for dancing, which also he was 12. When he became 17 he decided he needed to do something about his passion to dance music and with the support of his family and one of the best DJ in the island DJ BARIS he got his first decks and mixer. Every year he was becoming better in DJing and he was djing at local bars and at house parties.

He learned different aspects of DJing and producing Music from the highly respected tutors such as Chad Jackson (DMC World Champion 87) Jim Jomoa (Pro DJ), Les Adams (Pro DJ & Writer IDJ) and J-MEA (Hybrid Scratch DJ). Also he met with Emre Yazgin (Producer) when he was studying at ACM and learned a lot from him to use the music production software such as Cubase and now they are working together to produce electro house tunes.
