Biography
The Prophet started his career as a DJ in 1983 after he discovered turntables at a disco in Amsterdam. He was working in a hotel at the time, and performing as DJ on the side. He was asked to choose, and made the choice to DJ full-time.[2] He started spinning hip hop music before a switch to house in 1988.[3] About three years later, he set up a team of DJs known as "The Dreamteam", together with DJ Dano, Buzz Fuzz and Gizmo.[4] The team was a huge success in the gabber scene.[5]
Later, The Prophet switched from hardcore to hardstyle because he did not like the fact that the hardcore community wanted the music to become 'harder'.[5] He is famous both as a DJ and as a producer. He is also the owner of Scantraxx Records, one of the largest Dutch hardstyle record labels.[5]
His productions were released on vinyl and CDs on labels such as ID&T or Q-dance. He is also behind many DJ mixes which were published on CDs, such as the Thunderdome CDs, and he was involved in projects including Hardheadz (along with DJ Pavo) and Punk Brozz (with DJ Zany).
In 2014 he released his first album, Louder, which took him about nine months to produce this album.[2]
