`music was my first love
and it will be my last
music of the future
and music of the past
to live without my music
it is impossible to do!`

(John Miles – Music – 1976)



Why?

Well, he was born in Amsterdam and started off as a DJ somewhere in 1979, spinning 7-inch singles (the Jacksons, Karen Young, etc.) at schoolparties.
Since then he`s done so many parties, fashion shows, grand openings, open-air festivals and performances that he should open his own website.
To give you an idea what the man did in his short life, here`s a brief list of worthwhile activities:
