My story
Since 1991, I have been actively involved in the hip-hop scene, starting as a DJ and organizer of events for the community. I have had the opportunity to witness the impact of music up close during my teenage years and have drawn valuable lessons from it. In 2008, I began combining hip-hop elements with a healthy mindset and lifestyle, which I named ZOLARSEM. Through talent competitions, workshops, (online) platforms, projects, events, talent development, and guidance, I contribute to the current hip-hop culture in Europe, both socially and business-wise.
