  | THIRTY! "I guess we gotta set some standards!!" Thirty's natural ear will catch things the average producer does not hear. His attention to detail is exceptional and he can be inspired by the simplest things in life which, in turn, keeps him moving and shaking, creating and building a sound that is his own. Thirty has always stood out from the crowd and is a natural leader. Success and failure come hand in hand, so why would he stop.
Born in Ann Arbor, MI, Thirty grew up in a multi cultural society and was exposed to all walks of life which molded this young man to be the open-minded and cultured person he is today. Not to mention he's multi-cultured himself, being Dutch and Indonesian.
Always being the individual he is and taking his own path, he started djing and mixing at the age of 14. While everybody else was doing class projects and homework this musical genius was in the basement of his mother's town home perfecting his dj'ing and mixing.
Thirty built a name for himself in the dj community and was quickly featured in clubs around the Detroit area, such as St. Andrew's Hall, to open up for such acts as Ludacris and MC Breed among other local acts around the city.
At the age of 20, Thirty bought an mpc-2000 and took a stab at making beats. Finding that he had a natural knack for music, Thirty slowly put the turntables down and took on production full time. Working hard at perfecting his craft, Thirty has had the pleasure of being in studio sessions with greats like Dr. Dre, Jazze Pha, MC Breed and has produced tracks for acts such as Rick Ross, Stat Quo, Freeway, Bake Up Boyz, Buff One, Jab, Oseeola, Noose, The Dayton Family, Gotti from Boo & Gotti etc.
Thirty is currently the VP & Chief of Production for The Skouts Production Team and Frontstreet/IMG.
