Always having a piano in the house, he began playing and composing music from a very early age. At 7 years old, he vent to Bucharest to study music at the most prestigious music school in the country, where he studied with the best music teachers achieving high performances. After finishing the school he relocated in a small quiet town to have the tranquility needed to compose. In 2001, he formed the group “Contact” with 2 other musicians, Alexandra Marinescu and Dan Mardan, for an international electronic music contest (Radio France International Electro Awards) where the group was nominated for the grand prize and also included in the “RFI Electro” compilation in Romania. Mostly know for composing and licensing music for film, TV, theater and fashion shows and also making remixes for well known bands from Romania, Alin Dimitriu started paying attention to the club music scene being attracted by genres like minimal-house, minimal-techno and tech-house.
