Born 20-11-1987 in Eindhoven, Mattijs Bliek moved to a place called Heemstede aged 4. He didn't immediately love music; he occasionally listened to the radio and 2 Unlimited tapes. But he did like to hit rhythms and beats on stuff like pans and tables. When he was 8 he started piano lessons, but the music he played were things like Mozart and Beethoven and Mattijs was really looking for something more modern. He quit piano lessons when he was 12, the same year he grew an interest in dance music.
