Biography:
The talented producer and DJ was born and raised in Oslo, the capital of Norway, where he live and has his studio today. Music has always been a big part of his life, his father was a classical musician, and both his sister and mother played the piano. At the age of five he borrowed his mom’s A-Ha cassette with the hit single “Take on meâ€, and played it in kindergarten. He consider this to be his first ever dj gig. All through elementary school he was the guy bringing the latest house records to the parties and started experimenting with music writing.
A few years later Christian went from playing around with the Casio keyboard to making music using a computer. he uploaded tracks on local network servers, long before the internet became main stream, and received great feedback from other electronic music geeks. It took a few years before his first vinyl release on his own record label Clean Productions. It was a groovy deep house record, and it became the record of the week in “Vinyl Junkies†in London. House and Techno has been Christian's favourite music through the 90s and 00s, but he has worked with musicians of many geners on various musical projects.
Around the year 2000, he decided to dedicate himself to music full time and attended a sound engineering school to improve his production skills. Christian started working in a music studio, recording and mixing for bands and artists. A few years later he produced an electronica album together with his friend and label partner. It became one of the most frequently played electronic records on radio in Norway back in 2005. The next year, he went back to his roots and started to produce house music again.
He has been a professional dj for over ten years. Starting out as a pure deep house dj, and is still playing house records, but mixing it up elements from disco, rock, electro and tech. This combination has developed his sound in music production.
Highlights include release on Steve Lawlers Viva Music, remix of Nils Noa released on Renaissance, remix for Urbantorque, releases on Toolroom and The Factoria. He is supported and charted by many top djs, including Satoshi Tomiie, Hernan Cattaneo, Ben Watt and Steve Lawler.
In 2009 he started a new recordlabel - Troll Records - together with the very talented DJ and producer Nils Noa. Please follow the Link to check out the myspace profile
