As a seven year old boy, Sidney started playing the guitar. From there on he knew that he wanted to make music for the rest of his life. After seeing a couple of DMC Mix Championships, his interest in DJ-ing was sparked. He started DJ-ing in 1995 at the age of 14. During that time he mainly played R&B and Hip Hop tunes at local clubs. He switched his style completely to House music in 1999 and became the resident DJ of the ‘Exxellent’ nights at one of Holland’s biggest clubs The Matrixx in 2003. His producing skills really took off in that period.

His first real club banger was called ‘It’s All Funked Up!’ (Spinnin’ Records). After the release in 2003, Sidney knew that he couldn’t stop here and locked himself up in his studio. ‘Nobody Move’, ’Rock This’, ‘Girls’, ‘Aeroplane’ and ‘Viruz’ were some resulting floor fillers, just to name a few.

Sidney’s career as a producer and DJ took off from there and he quickly became one of the most dominant forces in the Dutch scene. After a number of club hits, Sidney broke into the charts when he released the now infamous: ‘Riverside’! ‘Riverside’ was immediately supported by virtually the entire who’s who in dance music and became a worldwide chart hit after conquering club land, reaching platinum status in Australia, entering the UK Charts at #2 and having top 10 chart positions in dozens of countries around the globe.

Sidney’s future looks even brighter when considering the fact that he is slowly but surely expanding his career as producer for some of the world’s major pop/urban/dance crossover stars. His recent collaboration with Will.I.Am and Lil’ Wayne is only one example of this.
