Joeri Kraake was born in December 1989, right at the cusp of a transformative decade for music. Growing up in the 1990s, he was immersed in the vibrant sounds of rave, gabber, breakbeats, and rap, which profoundly shaped his musical tastes and creative instincts. His father, working as a maintenance guy for a club called 'X-Ray,' often brought home spare DJ gear. This exposure introduced Joeri to the world of DJ-ing at a very young age.
Picture young Joeri, just 10 years old, already captivated by the energy and creativity of DJ culture. He would host kindergarten-birthday raves for his entire class at the local community center, turning these gatherings into mini-festivals of music and dance. His ability to create an electrifying atmosphere and engage his audience was evident even then.
Fast forward to today, and it's clear that Joeri's passion for DJ-ing has only intensified. His early experiences laid a solid foundation for his career, and his love for music and entertaining others remains unchanged. From those early days of hosting birthday raves, Joeri has continued to pursue his passion with unwavering dedication, making a name for himself in the world of electronic music.
