About Me

Playing beats or spinnin' records - it's all about music - and music makes my life beautiful :-)
I started playing percussion as a kid. Guided by great teachers - it was all about fun and drum beatin'. Later I travelled to Havana, and four times Rio De Janeiro to study more of the origin and world of beats and percussion. About 10 years ago my good friend DJ Christian Bloch encouraged me to start sharing my passion for music as a dj. And I'm grateful for that decision. Today it's a great combination for me to mix percussion and beats with electronic music and dj skills. I've been playing in Rio De Janeiro, Barcelona, Catania, Tokyo, Berlin and Denmark (ex: Mid Week Brakes, Rust, Riga, Culture Box, Skt. Petri, Studenterhuset, Pitstop).
Resently I've done percussion for acts like:
Junkyard Productions, DJ Disse, Radio Rio, Djuma Soundsystem and Nike.com
Now I do stuff with Sugarbeet, The Dub Collective, Junkyard Productions, Radio Rio and Curicica. Boom!
And by the end of the day - it's all about music!
beatin' the repenique :)
