| When Michael heard that sentence, he knew what his DJ name would be. That name was made for him! And after a little name pimpin', ShadowPhaxx was born... |

Michael bought his gear after two years off dreaming about turntables and creating several mixes on his computer. It was time for him to follow his dream and become one of the rolemodels he had seen on his first party: Qlimax 2001.
After barely two months he was asked to play at a local discotheque/bar.
24/01/2004 it was time for his first performance!
When he finished his set he got so many positive response that he actually started to believe that his dream might come true.
Soon afterwards he send out his first demo and all he could do was hope for everything to work out fine... |

And it did! After being one of the winners for the Defqon.1 Talents competition, for which his dad had secretly signed him up for, he got some nice gigs to perform at and Michael got the hang of it.
When he saw a notice from Q-Dance that they were looking for the "Q-Factor", he immediately signed up and hoped that he would still have a change because he was already picked as a "Defqon.1 Talent". |

| But Q didn't mind and picked him along with a few others to come perform in front of a talented jury. Eventually Michael, Pinas and Twisted were picked as the three best performers and got a chance to prove themselves at some Q-Dance parties, such as Q-Base and Defqon.1.
After all of these performances, they choose Michael as the one who had the "Q-Factor"." After all of these performances, they choose Michael as the one who had the "Q-Factor".
The Q-Factor-award was presented to Michael by his Hardstyle-heroes DJ Luna and The Prophet.

| Now-a-days it's hard to perform at the top parties without making your own tracks, so Michael joined up with Peter and Charel: the Audio Psychos were born! After spending a lot of time in the Audio Psychos' studio it was time to make his own and make the magic happen for himself. Together with his brother Jayme, Michael now spends most of his free time in his own space creating ideas for ShadowPhaxx tracks and soon enough you'll hear the first results, because he is determed to conquer the world with his love for the music that runs trough his vains: HARDSTYLE! |
