Born on the warmest day of the 20th century in the quaint village of Hermalle sous Argenteaux, I spent my formative years in the picturesque de Voerstreek, nestled on the crossroads of the Netherlands' southernmost edge and Belgium's eastern border. Amidst this idyllic backdrop, I delighted in fossil hunts, forest expeditions, and the construction of tree forts.

​

Transitioning into adolescence, I embarked on an educational journey that spanned several border schools in Belgium. Eventually, I found myself in Maastricht, where I pursued studies at the Academie Beeldende Kunsten. My time in Maastricht intertwined with the vibrant squat scene, affording me the opportunity to establish gallery spaces—B92 and B32—while curating a spectrum of events, including the distinct oddpop series at Lostheater and the captivating Audioscoop at Intro in Situ.

​

In 2006, my quest for deeper understanding led me to The Hague, where I delved into a master's program in Artscience. This pivotal chapter allowed me to explore the intricate interplay between art, science, and sound. During my tenure, I co-founded Feedbacksociety and initiated the innovative 'Tik-Tak' series within the white space, collaborating with fellow students.

​

A pivotal juncture arrived as I ventured to Berlin, a spontaneous move that extended into a decade-long chapter enriched by a sabbatical year dedicated to the Globalscape art project. Settling in the then-overlooked Neukölln in 2008, I co-established RAUM18 with neighbors who also birthed Loophole—an alternative music and event haven—under our shared roof, inevitably drawing me into its magnetic orbit.

Two years later, RAUM20 emerged as a more intimate iteration of RAUM18. Its pulse thrived while I embarked on global travels, immersing myself in the Globalscape endeavor for a year.

Returning to Berlin, I orchestrated event series at the Greenhouse and Z/KU, adding layers to my diverse journey.

The year 2017 marked a new trajectory, as I transplanted to Brussels, where I continue to reside. My involvement in my family's diverse businesses remains steady, juxtaposed with my unceasing dedication to the realms of art and music.
