It was in the year of 1992 when Naq started spinning in his home town in Belgium.
This amazing talent came to light when he started throwing his own parties, which included bringing the top DJs in Belgium & Europe to perform. More often than not held at unique locations like castles & out door events.
His DJ techniques developed a great deal after he started spinning at the Chapelle as a resident DJ in 1995/96 along with monthly party concepts with DJs such as Steve Knight (UK), Natalie Debora (GER), Blake Bastar (USA), Mark Gamano, Cosmic Society (GER) and many others.
Welcome 1997. The next five months were spent in Benidorm,. where things started to move a hell of a lot quicker. Bouncing from Amnesia to Penelope then onwards to Pacha.
1997 also included 6 months on the Isles of Teneriffe.
Up next was a quick trip to the deserts of South Africa. The reason? To play at the Desert Storm Festival 1997, 1000km south of Johannesburg in front of 4000 people crowd.
This ended up being the beginning of his career in South Africa, where he stayed for 5 years.
Naq really enjoyed South Africa and it was very hard for him to get back to Belgium. It was a magic place for him, a crossroad of cultures in Naq's World.
Meeting people from all over the world was the main idea and this is what carved the groove into his mind, and how his concept “I Freak Da Rhytme” began.
Bouncing back to Belgium in 2002 until 2004, Naq carried the I Freak Da Rhytme concept and started implementing it with great success.
In September 2004 Naq picked up the pace and went straight to China where he settled down and played in most of the top clubs there including; True Colors, 1+1, Top 10, Night Cat, DC, 39 Degrees, Class Club , Manhattan Club, New Bar Club and many , People events others across Asia, from Macau to Hong kong & Thailand.
2006 Naq became the resident DJ at some of the best clubs in Shenzhen, made the Dewar's Whisky DJ tour, and toured China through 26 cities.
