HOW IT STARTED
In his early childhood he started to play musical instruments, where he soon discovered his love for the piano. Getting the common classical musical education, he started to play more modern songs and doing his own compositions. After his graduation as MSc (Computer Science) he worked several years in IT projects, never forgetting about his passion for music.
THE FIRST TURNTABLE
When Florian. relocated to Dubai, he bought his first turntable from Denon, for home use only. By accident he then had his first DJ gig in Dubai, which made him consider for the first time, to become a professional DJ.
MOVING CROWDS
After playing countless gigs in the UAE for several years (e.g. Atlantis, Raffles, Desert Palm, Yas Islands Viceroy etc.) he recognized the “pattern” behind successful DJ sets and music tracks, so he decided to take a year off to start composing and producing his own songs.
FIRST ROLE MODELS
Florian. was influenced by the very melodical styles of David Guetta, Avicii and Hardwell. This led to his first anthem for Dubai “This is Dubai”, whereby using the characteristic dance piano introduced by Avicii along with the common EDM elements.
NEXT GENERATION EDM
Keeping his very unique style, he always tries to stay on top of the EDM development and produced (and named) his new track “Dubai 2.0” under the influence of the very new EDM styles introduced by Martin Garrix, LRad & Knife Party.
LONG TERM GOAL & VISION
Knowing, that the road to success is not an easy one, Florian. believes in his ability and is working hard on becoming the next well-known EDM producer making it into the DJ Top-100 and representing Dubai in the world-wide music scene.
