Deon started his career in music in 1994 when he was trained by 3 of South Africa's best hip-hop DJ's. From there he moved on to the hard house, gabber and hard trance scene where he played in quite a number of clubs in Cape Town South Africa.
He started producing music in 1996 and started the project "Damage" with his partner and co-producer James (broken toy) around the year 2000. They worked on this project for about a year before they introduced it to the world.
Damage was a huge success from the start and they signed up with a South African label, "Timecode Records". They released a number of trax on a few international compilations and did many successful gigs.
One year later, a very well known international label called "Shaffel/Chemical Crew Records" approached them for the release of the debut Damage album.
PRESENT:
Damage has been Deon's solo project for the past couple of years. He's doing very well in keeping the reputation where it's always been...at the edge of new & twisted crazy dance floor style psy-trance.
With his wide musical influences, Deon will keep on creating a style of music which is rich in colour, flavor, funk and a shit load of attitude. One of the many reasons why damage is so popular.
