He's Laurens Elshof, from a village near Amsterdam. He started producing at 13 after Armin van Buuren and Avicii pulled him into EDM, and an Afrojack show at the Ziggo Dome pushed him from bedroom producer toward DJing. Since then he's released on Martin Garrix's STMPD RCRDS and remixed Kygo, Becky G and Ava Max.
2025 was busy: a Tao Group residency in Las Vegas, a tour opening for Gryffin, and "Higher Power" with Gryffin and AR/CO on 10K Projects, plus an official remix of Tate McRae's "Revolving Door." His festival list runs from Tomorrowland and EDC Las Vegas to Freaky Deaky, which Ubbi Dubbi's producer Disco Presents also runs.
