Dutch has been making music since he can remember. As a young child, he would play on his brother’s turntables first when his brother wasn’t around and then from his teachings learned how to DJ by age 10. While in fifth grade, Dutch received his first booking as a DJ at house party and from there worked parties and then Clubs while attending high school. During his “DJ” years Dutch also learned how to work with mpc players midi boards and sound boards.

Throughout the years Dutch has had a lot of influences to create his unique sound including: Quincy Jones, Kraft work, Art Blakey, Miles Davis, The Beatles, Morrissey, Nirvana, Stevie Wonder, Roy Ayers, Last Poets, Rza, Curtis Jackson, Sean Carter (Jay-Z), Russell Simmons, Bob Marley and quoting Dutch himself, “anyone who inspires to make innovative and constructive music to help progress the art form.”

Mr. Hollerin has mastered a wide variety of software and hardware. Some of the software he works with is Nuendo 3, Pro Tools, Reason, Fruity loops, Vegas, Sony Sound forge, cubase sx, Sonic foundry and more. A taste of some of the hardware that Dutch has conducted himself with is Phantom X8, Atari remote, a line of sound boards, Korg and Roland midi boards, MPC drum kits, turntables, efx kits and more.

Dutch is very innovative in creating sound using what hasn’t been used a lot in this day in age of music and that is melody and sequencing. He is also has a great piece of engine “ears” in terms of post production with mixing and mastering. In addition for two and a half years, he attended College courses in San Jacinto, California to master his sound and learn his levels and sequencing to give you a finely tuned producer and engineer. Dutch has been creating music for over fifteen years and his overall goal is to give the consumer and the client a new fresh look on how music is approached today “but at the end of the day” as he quotes, “pleasing the client and the consumer is what we are in business for.”
