It all started as a 13year old bedroom DJ, playing Dutch hardcore and travelling to Holland on a regular basis to buy exclusive records.  It was while on these trips his passion for dance music grew and became an obsession. Over the years his sound progressed and moved into more psy/hard trance around 1996 and then in 1999 he fell in love with uplifting trance.  Playing at various clubs and events in Ireland for some years and also being nominated for 'Best New DJ' in the 'N.Ireland Dance Music Awards', Sneijder's passion for music was clear from the start.
