Background

Van Dijck studied music production and guitar at Codarts.[4] He graduated in 2012.[5] Before he became a well-known DJ and producer, he was teaching children to play guitar. After years of working with bands, Van Dijck began ghost producing for DJs. His production experienced considerable commercial success, which led him to consider going solo and creating the stage name, San Holo.[6]
