Diversity



Sarah Dutrieux was born 12th December 1979 in Vlijmen, The Netherlands.
She is from a large musical family and grew up with 1 elder brother, 2 younger brothers and a younger sister. Her father plays the guitar and her mother sings.

At the age of 6 she started playing the violin. Due to the many moves the family made, she visited several schools, where music always came first.

Under the influence of her music teachers and the school bands she became interested in singing. Together with the family band she performed at weddings and special events with music in the style of Pink Floyd, Yes and Queen.

Her father had a lot of influence on her musical development and he would have liked her to continue playing the violin, but Sarah became more interested in electronic music. This was because she started visiting House Parties in 1992 and she saw her brothers Joshua and Shimri DJ-ing in clubs like "The Funfactory" (now Hemkade 48) and at several parties.She would have liked to become a DJ, but she didn't get any feedback, because there were hardly any woman DJs.

In 2002 she started DJ-ing with her brothers equipment. Eventually she bought her own equipment and she is still performing now.Because she also had a full time job, she didn't have much time to grow professionally, but this changed rapidly when she met the love of her live Erik Smeets. They formed a strong bond in love as well as in business.

They both started working part time and devoted the rest of the time to music.They produce different styles of music professionally and they sometimes play the "wheels of steel" at home for fun.
