He became involved with electronic music at a young age and grew up with progressive rock and music from bands like Deep Purple, Gong and Yes. His interest in EDM began in the 90′s and was inspired by many DJ's. In 1992 he started to DJ himself and spent hours and hours seeking exclusive records in the stores of those days.

With a remix for his buddy Carl Anderson aka Lost Edit on his track "Fresh Start" he had the chance to release music on Bonzai through its Green Martian imprint. From here Thorin released his first full track entitled "Pure Tribal" on Nemesis which boasted a raft of top quality remixes.
