DJ Sonic was born on the 16th of August 1974 in Vienna, Austria. He was raised in a family closely related to music, as his grandmother was a music teacher and his grandfather was leading Audio recordings at Philips Austria. His father can play three different music instruments at a professional level and has formed his own band as well. As a result of this family influence, DJ Sonic started taking piano lessons at the age of 6. When he turned 14 and earned some money on his own he bought his first records, turntables and a mixer. From this time on DJ Sonic practiced his mixing skills, which he has later mastered to a full perfection. His passion for house music grew every day, and with it his record collection.

DJ Sonic started organizing some parties and played at a couple of small gigs. In Summer 1994 his career has really kicked off at the famous "AAKH-Clubbing" in Vienna followed by a number of great events, such as the "Fabrik" in Carinthia and all over Austria.

In 1995 DJ Sonic was invited to present his set at the most famous Viennese underground club called "Heaven" at U4, where he remained resident until 1999. After his success at "Heaven", he became a resident DJ of the Stargate Group and played at some huge events, such as "Pleasure" and "Penthouse", at locations like Kursalon Huebner, Sofiensaele, Ronacher and Palais Auersberg. In addition to that, DJ Sonic and two of his DJ friends started to host "Delicious" - an event of their own - taking place at several locations in and around Vienna. In May 2000 DJ Sonic became resident at the most famous Saturday Night House Club Vienna has to offer - the "Garden Club" at Volksgarten and in summer 2002 he joined the Club Fusion team at such locations as Meierei, Kinsky, Palais Auersperg and Babenberger Passage.

At different stages of his career DJ Sonic shared the turntables with such international DJ stars as David Morales, Little Louie Vega, Smokin Jo, Pete Heller, Jonathan Ulysses, Stonebridge, Martijn Ten Velden, Jose de Divina, Javi Cannus, Audiowhores, Copyright, Carlos Francisco, Tim Weeks, Paolo Barbato, Skye-n-Sugarstarr, Tune Brothers und Tom Novy. Bookings in Ibiza, Egypt, Mallorca, Italy, Hungary, Slovenia, and Switzerland (at the legendary Street Parade) prove his international recognition.

Although house music was not that popular and well accepted in Austria in the mid 90's as it is today, DJ Sonic was able to develop and maintain his very own recognizable style covering the range from Funky House to Tribal and Tech House.

"That feeling behind the decks when you push the crowd towards ecstasy is simply indescribable!" (DJ Sonic)
