D-wayne has an exceptional awareness of music and the nuances of musical styles. He is able to detect nuances in music that others do not hear and has a very strong feeling for rhythm. At a young age he began experimenting with various music styles that resulted in a strong preference for Housemusic which he plays through all its genres.

In summer 2007 he began to provide the music at small parties and his reputation grew. Often he got a very positive response of popular deejays to sets he sent them as well as tips to help him develop his style.

In autumn 2008 he was given the opportunity to prove himself by playing at a trendy clothes store and he was asked to DJ at a popular bar in the center of Eindhoven. Here it was obvious that he had developed a high level of musical maturity, the crowd reacted very positively to his DJ style and the numbers he chose to play.

In winter 2008 he had his first performance at a major event for more than thousand teenagers at pop venue De Effenaar in Eindhoven. Although still a ‘rookie’ he demonstrated to everyone that he had a lot of talent and potential.

In fall 2009 D-wayne was also been able to gain exposure at several 18+ events and the outdoor festival Amnesia Outdoor. Since spring 2010 he is performing in line ups of big outdoor festivals including Daydream Festival in Belgium and 7th Sunday Festival. And beginning summer 2010 he is performing at a few well known discotheques around Barcelona in Spain during the yearly summer tour of an internationally known great Dutch DJ.

With the compilation videos posted online on Youtube he has regular hits. “D-wayneTV” is frequently rewarded with high rankings in the top 100 as one of the daily or weekly ’best viewed channels’ in its category!

The Dutch popular radio station Radio Veronica has invited him to perform live in the studio in Hilversum for their Talent Academy on a number of occasions. He also created his own show concept called “Housemusic as Art” that now is being produced monthly for several internet radio stations.

D-wayne’s talent and passion for music also let him create music productions that are appealing to a large crowd. He has received contracts from record labels including the labels of internationally famous deejays. A track was released on Afrojack’s label “Wall Recordings” and climbed in the Beatport chart Top 100 within five days to place 28 and went in the Dance-Tunes chart Top 100 all up to the 5th place.

On Steve Aoki’s imprint “Dim Mak Records” a track came out that was in February 2011 at the Winter Music Conference in Miami in the BUZZ Chart top 30 one of the thirty most important tracks in the dance industry at that moment.

Many A-list deejays are supporting his productions including even Armin van Buuren who did on Queensday 2011 in Amsterdam a set with one of D-wayne’s tracks in it for an audience of over 250000 people .
