About Me

It was clear from an early age Noir was heading straight for a life in music. His childhood nickname was 'Music Man' because of his immediate attention drawn to the sounds of all types of music. Noir and his family moved to New York and his early years were spent learning to spin reggae and hip-hop in Brooklyn.At the age of 20 Noir met DJ Steve Chip Chop Gonzales who was Dj-ing at the Tunnel, Webster Hall, Palladium, Lime Light and Cheetah among other clubs throughout the city. DJ Chip Chop introduced Noir to house music and the club scene in New York City. Webster Hall was where Noir had his first break into the club scene in NYC.Noir spent three years assisting Steve and learning the craft of engineer in NYC. In 1998 after Noir received his degree in International Business, Noir promptly got on a plane and went to Iceland to discover European music scene and its club culture. Noir quickly established himself as a house DJ on the Island and rocked it.Due to the small demographic size and weather Noir moved to Sweden were he worked with Dr. Alban, E-Type, Herbie and Dj-ed at the Heaven Discotheque.Noir's international break came when he moved to Luxembourg in 1999 and teamed up with Gregory Jones. Noir produced ‘It's a Disco Night’ which became a big success. This production opened the door for Noir's 1st video clip and international contacts.Later that year Noir got the call from Bob Christy to host his very own Radio Show every Friday on Luxembourg’s Walk 107 FM Radio. Noir held his dance floor show for 6 years breaking the fattest sounds in dance music to Luxembourg and the bordering countries of France, Belgium and Germany. During those years Noir head lined many National Festivals and club events in the region.Noir says “This was definitely an important and influential time in my career - a rich and interesting journey which molded me into, and established me as a true DJ/Producer. A dream comes true, and I was hugely motivated to move forward.”On the house tip, Noir moved to the Balearic island of Ibiza in the summer of 2005. Noir has been working intensely in the Studio producing and mixing during the summer for Hed Kandi, El Divino and IBZ Louge in Ibiza, amongst other international gigs.
