BIOGRAPHY
ICONLeif Hatfields first contact in making music was to learn drums at the age of 9 years. While he played in several local bands he started to experiment with electronic sound design in the very first decade of computer assisted sound production around 1990. Artists like Jean Michel Jarre,Kraftwerk and Mike Oldfield inspired him to dive deeper into the complex world of sound design and to work with sample maschines and syntheshizers.

What started as an avocation became a passion and after he finished his precision mechanic education he decided to go on with an education as sound technician to work more on his creative musician site. In this period he worked as band and club technician and also in the soundstudio of MAWA-Digitainment-Labs where he did 5.1 upmixes and sound designs, as sound engineer on Film DVD´s. As well as still working as a sound technician, engineer and producer he proved to be an active DJ.
