About Me

CURRENT MISSION

High five to the positive crew!

ABOUT ME

I live in the centre of the beautifull ancient ( but very alive ) city of Ghent. I'm surrounded by very creative people which makes us an interesting bunch! Everyone is really laidback and welcomes anyone with positive spirits!

Music has been my main occupation in my life. In my younger days I've been dj'ing professionally for a couple of years. When I was 18 I moved from Belgium to the Netherlands to pursue my musical career. During my studies as an audio engineer I already started working in this business and I gradually found myself quitting the dj'ing and focussing on my studio work. After studying in the Netherlands I moved to London and then moved back to Belgium where I founded my company "House of media". Now after over 15 years more people joined the House of media team, and we are now producing audio \ visual content for all types of clients all over Europe.

As the son of a chef I've been surrounded by good food my entire childhood, which fired my passion for cooking.

In my free time I love to party hardy or chill, and every step in between.

I'm very fond of my home-town so I'd gladly show you around whenever there is time.

PHILOSOPHY

Being positive is what gives me strenght in life. If you share positive vibes you are destined to get positive vibes back which feeds your positive thinking again, an upwards cycle...
