Being creative with sound isn’t just a job, it’s a calling.
I started playing music when I was nine. My favourite occupation, besides playing the saxophone and percussion, was recording the top 100 hits on those old-school funky cassettes.
When I was 14, I started playing in all kinds of small bands, some more successful than others. From then on I was confronted with PA-systems, wedges, desks with a lot of little freaky knobs… in small venues but also bigger ones like “Sportpaleis”, “Arenbergschouwburg” etc.
The frustration of having a bad monitor mix grew larger. I got interested, started wondering just how difficult it could be to make a decent mix and went on to study sound at RITS.
RITS is a film-school, so I learned how to complete film-, tv- and radioproductions at school. During weekends I worked for PA-companies, to acquire some experience. I graduated at RITS option sound with distinction in 2006. During the next year I studied part-time commercial science and kept working for live PA-companies. I worked as a soundengineer for many different really cool gigs, from theatretours in the Netherlands, to a bigband in the Natural History Musem (London), till even doing sound for a support act for the Belgian army in Kosovo.
In september 2008 I graduated with a first for my major project from an MA in audio production in London at the University of Westminster. Producing music was one of the main modules where I could benefit from having guestlectures from producers, who worked with Take That, Bjork, Boy George, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Spice Girls, Kylie Minogue, Sherryl Crow and many others.
And oh yes... I now do know where every single little weird freaky knob stands for and how to use it creatively...
