But, in spite of the contact in the middle of the 90's with production programs, it was just in 2002 that he had real contact with the production of electronic music, starting to realize experiments in trance and tech-trance, as learning, being in the end of 2003 one finalist of the 2nd Contest "New Talents of the Fashion" in the category Dj-Sountrack, being among the top 20 and beginning in the same time showing up as dj.
