Music has always been a very important element in his life. He started to play the guitar in the early nineties and soon started to explore more music styles. In 1995 he got in touch with techno music, visiting lots of events and refining his electronic taste. Three years later, he started playing his first records, a habit he hasnt kicked since. His passionate skills brought him to play at events like Awakenings, Teqnology, Legalize, Integrate, Decompression, Dial t for techno, Monocult, A.S.S., mnml.nl and many more.
Throughout the years he has evolved his own style. It can be described as a mixture of groovy techno, minimal, progressive and acid house. Size likes to explore and cross musical borders and combine different styles in the mix. He started off being known for his energetic techno style, but he only plays that on demand now, preferring the broader spectrum now found in his record bags. He knows like no other how to build up the tension in his sets and please the audience with some tight mixing skills.
His love for the music doesn’t stop with spinning records alone. After finishing a sound engineering course in Amsterdam in 2002, production is the next thing on his agenda. With some tracks already finished and lots of projects running, he is going to release at Truesoul Records and 100% Pure records this year (2009). Already support from Dubfire, Adam Beyer, Bart Skils, Nihad Tule, 2000 and one and more.
The 17th of April 2009 Size won the 1st price of "De grote prijs van Zuid-Holland" of the category "Dance and producers". Besides of that he also won the first price voted by the audience. He's now participating in the semi finals of "De grote prijs van Nederland". This will take place in September at "radio 3fm". He will perform a liveset of 30 minutes.
