About
Mikenzo was born in the Dutch village of Veldhoven. He grew up listening to the Beatles and Michael Jackson. When he was eleven he was gifted a turntable which started his musical adventure. Inspired by the Belgian New Beat, European House music and Grand Mixer Ben Liebrand he started experimenting with mixing.
In the early 90s he discovered the computer, synthesizers and the Prodigy. His focus shifted to Breakbeat music. He joined Dutch Breakz. This resulted in a track release on the compilation 'Dutch Breakz Volume 2'. He toured the Netherlands with the 'Dutch Breakz Tour'. He formed the Big Time Beats collective to promote Breakbeat music in the Netherlands and won several DJ contests.
At the start of the 2010s he decided to make the album he always wanted to make. He approached Herman Witkam to help him with the production and found a vocalist in Philip Barkhudarov. In 2011 he put out one track at a time and on 11/11/11 the album - appropriately entitled - '11' was complete.
