Biography

Despite being a music lover from a young age, Diederik - for mysterious reasons - thought studying accountancy was a good idea. Through DJ-ing
in bars and clubs his love for music further developed and he started experi-menting with producing electronic music. After graduating as an accountant
in 1999 and being offered a position at PriceWaterhouse-Coopers, he finaly agreed with himself that accounting wasn't his thing and decided to follow his real passion.

Diederik started working as a sound-producer / in-house composer at FHV/BBDO, a large ad agency in Amsterdam, producing and composing music for television commercials. After 2,5 years at BBDO he was offered a position as an in-house composer at Marco Sound, a famous post-production sound studio in Amsterdam; the last step before starting his own business in 2003.

Having learned the advertising business from the inside, Diederik has great communicative skills. Now almost a decade in advertising Diederik has worked for many big advertising agencys on clients including Nike, Coca Cola, Audi, Heineken, Ford, Canon, fashion house Viktor & Rolf, MTV, and more. His idiosyncratic music style, blending music with sound design elements, reflects his strong knowledge of contemporary music styles.
