About Me
Background
Ever since I was a kid I've been obsessed with music. When I was 15 I started recording my own songs with an old-fashioned Tascam portastudio. Later I got more involved in producing more modern styles of music in DAWs like FL Studio and Ableton. However, I had to put this passion on the back burner to focus on my studies.
Eventually in 2022 I obtained my MBO 4 diploma in aviation technology and I've been working for 3.5 years as a service technician for wind turbines in the Noordoostpolder. Now that I have the time and budget again, I decided to follow my passion for music and in September 2025 I started the Sound Education program. This is a year-long vocational training where everything related to audio is covered. From songwriting, producing, synthesis and mixing to acoustics, studio construction and system engineering — at Sound Education everything is covered and everyone has the opportunity to dive deeper into subjects they find interesting.
Experience
-
Recording Engineer
I have experience recording bands in a professional studio environment and setting up the appropriate microphone configurations.
-
Mixing Engineer
I have experience mixing multitracks and knowledge of techniques that ensure the music sounds professional and reaches the listener.
-
Music Production
I produce and write music and together with a friend we record this in my home studio.
-
Live Sound
I've had lessons in live mixing with the Digico SD 12 and the MIDAS M32. This has only been in a classroom setting and not yet in practice.
-
Acoustic Treatment
I have experience measuring the acoustic properties of a room and applying improvements based on those measurements.
My Goal
My current goal is to gain more practical experience to expand my knowledge and connections.
I am looking for a music venue or studio where I can volunteer to gain hands-on experience. I hope that in the future I can turn my passion into my profession.
