He started making music when he was in his teens, and although he was involved with Death Metal then, his musical tastes have moved into the realm of the electronic. His music is still aggressive, but now, instead of scary metal that makes people want to mosh and bang their heads, he is aiming to make them dance. Take a brief tour through his mind and see for yourself.
