Biography

Early life

Stomp was born on 30 September 1999[1] in Amstelveen, Netherlands. When he was 6, he started playing the violin. By the age of 11, he began playing the drums and shortly thereafter became interested in making music. He also developed an interest in deep house and future house when he heard "Gecko" by Oliver Heldens[6] and taught himself how to do it by learning it from YouTube.[1] [7] At the age of 14, he became inspired when he 'touched' a DJ set for the first time, prompting him to download specialist software, FL Studio, and enabling him to start composing. He started making deep house music at that same age, but moved to slightly harder house, as well as future house. He studied at Herman Brood Academy, a production school in Utrecht where Martin Garrix and Julian Jordan also went to.[8]

Music career

Mesto began his career in 2014, when he was only 15 years old and his first official release was the single "GO!", a collaboration with Alex Ranzino which was released as a free download on 10 November 2014.[9] Shortly afterwards, he released a remix with Benfield of "Rude", a single by Magic!. He then collaborated with Mike Williams to release a bootleg of "Raise Your Hands" by Ummet Ozcan.

In July, he and Justin Mylo remixed "Final Call", a single by Florian Picasso for the Remixes EP, officially released on 8 July.[19] On 10 October 2016 it was announced that Mesto signed a contract with Spinnin' Records.[20] [21] [22] That same month, he released "Wiee", a collaboration with Martin Garrix on Stmpd Rcrds.[23] [24] [25] The single was played by Garrix as an ID at Home Festival in Treviso, Italy in early September,[26] and was a part of his seven-track extended play Seven.[27] He also performed at the Amsterdam Dance Event for the first time.[28] On 16 December 2016 he released a remix of "Alone" by NERVO and Askery featuring Brielle Von Hugel, which was his first release on Spinnin' Records.[29] A day later, he was a guest and performed at Midden In Je Weekend Show on SLAM!.[30] He then performed at Mezz in Breda during the "3FM Clubhuis presents" and "DJs for 3FM Serious Request".[31] [32]

He then released a remix for "Not Going Home", a single by DVBBS and CMC$ featuring Gia Koka.[36] On 10 April 2017 he collaborated with Curbi on "Bruh", which would be his first release through Tiësto's label Musical Freedom.[37] [38] On 10 July 2017 Mesto released the single "Chances", featuring Brielle Von Hugel.[39] An official music video for the song was released.[40] [41]
