His broad interest in many genres shape his tracks in which influences of Schranz, Hardstyle, Techno, Trance, Dubstep, Drum ‘n Bass & Hip Hop can be heard.
He does not respect the borders that define musical genres but if you have to give his style a name, call it Harddance.

His track Maximum Modulation was labeled tune of the week in Fausto’s weekly show on Q-dance radio calledFausto’s crossover.

Expect to hear a lot more from this fellah in 2011 because he just got started.
History Jimmy was born and raised on the beautiful tropical island of Curacao and has lived there for 19 years His passion for music started back there. When he was 15 he got inspired by local urban underground electronicmusic and started to mess around on the pc experimenting with sampling, time stretching and even remixing tunes using nothing but the soundrecorder application which came with windows 95. Short after that he got his hands on programs like screamtracker and started to take things a small step further towards making music. He also gained intrest in DJ-ing and became resident at a local club playing local and pop music. Everything changed when a Dutch girl on vacation from Holland gave him a trance cd to play at the club. He totally fell in love with the music and was intrigued by the electronic techniques used to make this music. He wanted to know everything there is to know about electronic music.He decided to move to Holland to study and to get acquainted withthe whole electronic music scene. He also took some musicproduction courses to expand his knowledge of music theory and producing. Now years later he has become a very skilled and confident DJ/producer ready to tear it up in an area near you.
