| Dayton was born on Friday, the 13th of December 1991 in Bad Honnef, Germany.
His first touch with electronic music was in 2003 at the age of twelve, when his first computer with
internet connection was set up. He listened to masses of dj mixes and live sets in the World Wide Web and finally decided to become a dj himself.
During his leisure time, he often experimented with deejay software’s like Traktor or Virtual DJ before he bought two Technics 1210MKII turntables at the age of sixteen.
After the first tries on the tables, he soon added a digital DJ controller to his gear to improve his skills in digital deejaying too.
In 2007, Dayton started to produce his own tracks influenced by the mau5. The first tries were after a fashion, but he always kept going. Dayton spent hours, playing around with his midi-controllers and producing software, until he finally won the Samsung ‘DJ Your Life’ contest with his track ‘Literise’. (2009)
Many Dayton tracks are club oriented progressive house tracks but over the years he created a unique deep, progressive and loungy style.
