Where my DJ journey began

In 2022, I joined the Tomorrowland Academy, the official DJ school of the world-famous Tomorrowland festival. I was only 11 years old, but from the moment I stepped into that first DJ bootcamp in Hasselt, I knew this was what I wanted to do.

With amazing coaches, pro equipment, and a group of young music lovers like me, I learned the basics of mixing and got the chance to perform my very first club set—at Club Versuz!

What I've done with the Academy so far:

• 2022: First START-TO-DJ Kids bootcamp in Hasselt – the start of everything. 

• 2023: Summer START-TO-DJ Kids bootcamp in Boom, so close to the festival. 

• 2024: Winter START-TO-DJ Teens bootcamp in Hasselt & Summer START-TO-DJ Teens Bootcamp in Boom to take my skills to the next level. Played my first set at the Tomorrowland Neighbourhood Party, in the Crystal Garden – an unforgettable experience!

• April 2025: My 5th START-TO-DJ Teens bootcamp, for the first time at Club Carré in Willebroek. New location, new energy, and one of my favourite learning moments so far!

• Summer 2025: Following my 6th bootcamp in Boom to prepare for something truly special: My very first set on the official Tomorrowland Festival, on the Rise Stage, Saturday 19th July.

More than just DJ lessons

Tomorrowland Academy taught me much more than how to beatmatch or mix. It gave me the confidence to be myself on stage, to tell a story through music, and to dream big. Every bootcamp and performance helped shape the artist I'm becoming today.

I'm proud to be part of the Tomorrowland Academy family—and I can't wait to see where this journey takes me next.
