At young age I've got inspired by music through my brother, so music was already the red line in my life. During this experience I started playing records as a DJ in a small club in Reusel. The feeling I got from playing records and pleasing the crowd was unbelievable. In this period got infected by the harder styles of house music and soon I was playing Hardstyle! During this period I decided that besides playing records I wanted to make my own music, not much later my act “Zerox” was born. Meanwhile I had the opportunity to play at great events like Decibel Outdoor and Intents Festival. With an energetic and Euphoric sound I want to bring my music to as much as people as possible. Can’t wait to show you new Zerox productions!
