Bio

Hi there! I’m Mathijs, thanks for stopping by. I’ve been making music since I was about 14 years old, which is when I got my first bass guitar. After learning about notes, scales and technique through lessons (thanks Hans!) in my hometown of Nijmegen I discovered Fruity Loops and the possibility to make entire songs in my bedroom. During high school I figured that nothing could quite interest me as much as making music, so no overchoice there. From 2011 until 2015 I studied Composition & Music Production at the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht, which opened my eyes to bending soft- and hardware to my music-making will. This is still integral to my process in composing and performing in collaboration with other artists in various disciplines as well as my own projects. During my time at the HKU I also came in contact with theater for the first time. This has been a large part of my professional work up to today
