This event featured a set by DJ Tiësto, an experience which transformed the way Martijn thought about music.
Then, he downloaded the FL Studio mixing software to which he has remained faithful ever since.

He became a “ghost producer” creating work for other artists while remaining anonymous. Then his fist big break came in 2012 when he was signed by Spinnin’ Records.
