Capital T - WMC Demo - Feb 2007

Biography of Capital T

Capital T’s journey began on one cold winter day in Sweden naked and confused 34 years ago. With the usual “I want to be an astronaut when I grow up” mentality most of his childhood. But having family in the U.S. changed this vision and the bags where packed and off to the 'Land Of Opportunity' he went. Adapting to the culture and getting used to tv 24/7, radio with endless varieties of music (freestyle and 80’s music was the thing back then), his love for music grew strong. But failing music in high school in the back of his mind, the thought of doing anything other than listening to music never even crossed his mind. Sixteen years later after getting tired of looking for a replacement to the club that he avidly attended every weekend for two years, closed down and the resident DJ traded in his headphones for a day job. The search for good music and vibe was a dead end street. This is when the discovery of his unknown ability to create the atmosphere he was missing.

The 'I’ll Do It Myself' attitude started something that became an addiction. After bugging Jon Owen, a DJ and close friend, for weeks on end to show him how to do it, he decided to do it himself. After a few months of trying and trying it just worked one day. The mixes that he recorded became more and more sought after amongst his peers, with the positive feed back and demand for more. He started posting his mixes on MixDepot so that his friends could access them. With the exposure to the rest of the world, comments from other DJs started showing up in the mail box. The confidence created by this has led him to take the next step. So far, he has played at house parties and live over the internet on Virtual DJ Radio. Goofing Off 32 was aired at Digital Vibes New Years Bash in 2006. He has played for Lady Of The House in Vero Beach and a couple of capacity crowd nights at Karma Lounge as well as Joe's Freedom Events at Voodoo Lounge, both located in Downtown Ft. Lauderdale! And let's not forget the nine hour live set for Alter Ego's New Year's Party 2007, Party Naked.

His musical influences include: DJ Garfield, Edgar V, Jon Owen, Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Joop, DuMonde, Jurgen Vries, Filo & Peri, Liquid Soul, Sean Tyas, Markus Schulz, Super 8, Aalto, Mike Shiver, John Askew, Mike, Dave 202, etc.
