Jamie Lie A Kwie (22 years old) has always been interested in music. In his younger years he listened to old funk and breakdance music. Later when he started clubbing he got involved with a new music genre; House music. Ever since his first encounter his passion for house music grew. Not much later, on the age of 17 he bought his first turntables and started playing house music. House is a very broad genre and he started to develop himself inside this genre. He plays a variety of minimal techno with some good (deep)tech-house on the side
At the age of 20 he had already played in all the large venues in Rotterdam, such as Offcorso, Now&Wow/Maassilo and Thalia but he had the feeling he could never really do his own thing. After supporting a friend in the TWSTd dj contest he decided he wanted to compete also, to show people what he could do behind the decks and where his real interests in music lay. This proved to be a very good decision because after playing in twstd a few times he was already asked to play at the Rockit Open Air Festival. Later that year he won the quarterfinals and the semifinals and he was on his way to the Paradiso where the final took place. He played a very good set and won the jury price.
After winning the contest he found the confidence he needed to go on with playing his own style of music, because he felt people accepted it. Later that year he played at several clubs in Amsterdam and Rotterdam, where he also had some residencies, and he made his second appearance at the Rockit Open Air Festival. At the moment he is beginning to start producing his own music. Since April this year he attends the Electronic Music Production course at the SAE institute to extend his production techniques. You will definitely see and hear more of this upcoming artist.
