The Evolution of Smile Happens: My Journey Through the World of House Music
My musical journey began in a small youth house, on a night that changed everything. At 18, I first discovered House music at a private party – and it was love at first beat. Now, 17 years later, I look back on a journey that has taken me through rhythms, melodies, and countless dance floors as a listener. Now, I share my story of discovering my passion for House music and becoming the DJ I am today.
The First Encounter: A Night That Changed Everything
It was one of those unforgettable nights: The bass vibrated through the air, the melodies permeated every corner of the room, and I – I was completely captivated by the world of House music. It was a revelation, a musical awakening that has not left me to this day. Since then, I can listen to this music endlessly and without pause – it has become the soundtrack of my life.
A Growing Passion: From Playlists to DJing
Over the years, my music library steadily grew. I discovered my favorite genres: Tech House, Melodic House, Organic House, Downtempo, and Minimal. Each genre brought its own color, its own character to my musical universe. I started creating playlists for parties, and the feedback was overwhelming. My selection brought life to every party, making the atmosphere explode. These experiences strengthened my understanding of rhythms and melodies and laid the groundwork for my future in DJing.
The Turning Point: A New Chapter During the Corona Crisis
The Corona crisis was a time for reflection and a new beginning. With events and parties on hold, I found myself in the quiet of my room, surrounded by the music I love so much. I began compiling playlists and sets based on different moods, diving deeper into the world of melodies and rhythms. This was the moment I realized: I didn't just want to be a listener, I wanted to be a creator. I wanted to share my own musical vision with the world. So, I started DJing.
Smile Happens: A Dream Comes True
As Smile Happens, my goal is to connect people through my music, evoke emotions, and create memories. Every set I play is a reflection of my soul, a collection of sounds that have shaped my life. I don’t just play tracks – I tell stories, taking my audience on a journey through the world of electronic music.
From that first night in the youth house to the countless sets I play today, my journey through House music has been a discovery of myself and my passion. It’s a journey that is far from over. With every beat, with every transition, I strive to touch the hearts of my listeners and bring a smile to their faces. Because that's what Smile Happens is about – spreading joy, and that's what I want to do for the rest of my life.
