About Me

Whoami?

I'm a music producer/composer/beatmaker whatchamacallit. My parents named me Jay.Soul The Groove Architect but my artist name is Jeroen.. no, wait.. ehh..
Music is my life. 25/8/366. Had some piano lessons at age 6. Banged on buckets with wooden spoons when i was 10 (sorry, mom). Got real drums at 13. Drove the neighbours crazy every day. Became addicted to hip-hop around that same time. Picked up basic guitar skills from 16 on. Got into mixing, scratching and writing rhymes around 19. Made makeshift beats with a borrowed keyboard and a tapedeck a little later. First real beat-making equipment when i was 24: Akai s950 & Atari. Nothing's been the same since.. (smile)
