History

After his début with his brother Laurent in the duo called: Scratch Pet Land, he received a critical success through his second solo release "Scratch The Hulu" where he combined absurdity humour, hip hop samples and tons of impressive sounds.[2] In the end of 2004, he embarked on an extensive tour, during which he opened for a number of musicians, including Mouse On Mars and Ratatat.

In 2011, he won the prestigious Belgian prize "Octave de la musique" in category electro.[3]

Biography

At an early age, during the summer holiday, his family had a car crash in the east-south of Belgium. He lost his father, mother and one of his brothers. There were five kids with the two parents in the car. The shock pushed him into a coma. At the hospital some days later, he remembered that it was the spirit of an elephant that brought him back to life.[4]
