VI.BE

I've been making music for over two decades. I'm 29 now, originally from Brussels.

I started as a classically-trained pianist when I was 6. I moved to London at 18, and taught myself guitar and music production. I studied everything from romantic classics, to film music, pop, blues, jazz, house and UK electronic music. I also fell in love with hard rock as a teenager.

I love the rage of punk rock, the depth of silence, and the freedom of being able to make music with a laptop.

In 2013 I moved to London and spent countless nights at Plastic People, Printworks, XOYO, Fabric, and Corsica Studios. James Blake, Jamie xx, Bonobo, Ben Böhmer, Chopin, John Cage, Philipp Glass, Four Tet, Overmono, Burial, Flowdan, Underworld.. they all played a huge part in my musical upbringing.

In the summer of 2023 I booked the cheapest flights I could find and left to an island off the coast of Turkey with a keyboard and my laptop. I rented an old open air nightclub turned into an airbnb and got to producing my first album.

Don't expect a clean, nice and singular project. I wanted to create a patchwork of everything I love. I love space, aggression, depth, and beauty.

That's what I'm aiming for.

I hope you find something you like.

Thank you for being here

Like, for real.

I hope you stay for a while, and I hope I can visit you at a club or stage in your city, town or neighbourhood.

I hope to see you soon

If you like something I made, DM me. I'll reply. I promise.

Thank you & see you soon
