Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Ian’s interest in music was apparent at a early age
as he would play with his grandfathers harmonica. His liking to the harmonica
was contributed to the many years of his grandfather playing it. His musical
interest, at the age of twelve, lead him to start playing with two cassette
players and start recording live sets mixed only by using the record and pause
button. Onto the age of fourteen were Ian started to DJ at local events and at
his school. From the money earned at these events he was able to purchase
himself a proper mixer and turntables.
At the age of eighteen he bought his first sampler an
Akai S700. Combine that with an Atari computer and a Roland 505 drum computer
he started to make simple house music. Working with what he presently had was
inspiring Ian to dedicate more time in the process of musical compositions.
He started to produce background music for several
companies and that open the door for him to work at a radio station in the evenings.
He was starting to work with famous singers in the Netherlands. Working with
the singers was giving him the stimulation he wanted to receive in the musical
field.
Onto the age of 486 pc Computer where Ian purchased
one with a Gravis soundcard to make his first mixes which were going to be
released. It has been no looking back since then, of course he has upgraded
since the 486 but the man that won the Michael Jackson mega-mix never learned
to play any traditional instruments. Utilizing his computers to the fullest
ability.
