AKIRA

Akira Salehin was born in 1987, a very important year in electronic music.
Growing up with classical music made him very anxious to learn all about who and what was behind the creation of music.
He was about 8 years old when his 10 year older brother introduced him to HOUSE MUSIC...and from that moment on it changed his life.

A few years later he started to get interested in DJ-ing and quickly wanted to get his hands on a pair of turntables, and so he started to gain more and more feel with house music. At the age of 13 he already owned his first turntables and mixer and started buying records in his favourite recordstore: USA Import in Antwerp.

When he was about the age of 15 he started playing at small local parties close by home and got in contact with a lot of great people and got him playing in and around Antwerp city very fast.

Throughout the years AKIRA has played at venues and events like: Laundry day '08, Café D'Anvers, Tomorrowland '09, Pukkelpop '09, Café Capital, OckxFest '10, Wax Club Bxl, Kissinger...

And he has also shared the decks with a lot of great artists such as: Ben klock, Slam, Ramon Tapia, Let's Go Outside, The Youngsters, Rick Angel, Ed!t, Steve Cop, Kash, Roland Casper, Paul Chambers, Dexter W, Turntable Dubbers, DJ Prinz, Merdan Taplak, Pierre, Arne, Ralpheus, Beluxx, Metrobox, Morse Inspectors, Coupé...and many more...
