Early life

Scheveger was born in Tuscany (Italy) in 1989. Being exposed to a big variety of music including ambient, post rock, rap and pop - dance music - pop punk, Scheveger was mainly introduced to electronic music by his friend Simone. Was in 2013 that Scheveger got in touch with Antonio Filippelli, producer and quite big name in the music industry, having played for "Vanilla Sky" in the World Tour and working for Emi and Sony. Scheveger left to Australia in February 2014, where he found a "vivid and amazing" music scene, that helped him having a clearer vision and influenced him a lot.
