Biografie
John Kho, better known as The Dvrkside, was born as Justin Roelofsen in Nieuwegein, Utrecht. Despite his destructured adolescence due to his parents' divorce, Justin grew up playing guitar and has always been close to music; his birthdays were full of singing and all kinds of music.
Justin's 6th birthday was the moment when Justin got hooked on music, after the hard divorce of his parents; he got a drumkit and started playing drums.
Aside from his musical side, Justin is also a professional graphic designer and a great poet;
he's been writing poems since he was on the last class of elementary school that later lead him to discover his love for rapping, graffiti and breakdancing.
Some hip-hop influences of Justin are The Pharcyde, Gavediggaz, Wu-Tang, 2Pac, Kanye West and Common. He also feels a connection with Pop, Garage and 2step.
With his experience in producing beats, Justin got to know Vince (MC Tjen) through Yannic (The Voyagers) and Stavros Martina. Later, he got to know Vato Gonzalez who put a mic in
his hands and encouraged him to hype the crowd, they've been his biggest influence and helped him to become the entertainer he is now and to develop his whole philosophy of working in entertainment. He also learned from DJ Que, who also learned a lot to Vato and Tjen, Vato, Vince and later from his biggest example Lady Bee.
Justin is already an experienced MC at his young age, he has hosted Nope is Dope (Heineken Music Hall and the last Fast Forward Dance Parade), hosted for Afrojack, Hardwell, Chuckie, GLOWINTHEDARK,Hasse de moor Gregor Salto, Alvaro and many more.
His energetic performances leave the crowd no choice; he hypes every crowd in front of him and has a natural talent to create verses in a unique and improvised way.
Justin's biggest dream would be to host international events such as EDC and Ultra, and working with people in the likes of Hasse de Moor (who he already has worked and works with), Diplo, GTA and Skrillex. He just wants to "Make the peoples night everlasting".
