His love for music began at the age of five when he learned to play the piano. Cellies DJ-career began in 1984, playing disco, rap, funk, rare-grooves and new-wave in clubs all over Holland, Germany and Spain.
In 89 he returned to Amsterdam and started working in club Mazzo as floor-manager/programmer [booking bands and DJs], and also dj-ing himself. Here he started organizing the popular Saturday-nights called Unity which became a huge success. After a few years he decided to team up with the London based Sex Love And Motion and brought Londons popular S.L.A.M nights to Amsterdam at Mazzo.
August 2000 was the last of these weekly events and from September 2000 on Cellie has begun a new venture named Off The Record; a new concept to freshen up the Amsterdam nightlive. These nights will be co-hosted by DJs Steve Rachmad, Estoe & Carlijn. Besides playing in Mazzo Cellie plays all over the world, England, Italy, France, Norway, Finland, Portugal, USA, South-Africa and China are regulary visited by this well travelled DJ.
Cellie also plays some of Hollands biggest festivals such as New Frontier and Dancevalley often in front of crowds as big as 10,000 plus. His music can be described as Hypnotic.Global.House -ranging from break-beats and techhouse edging towards progressive and techno- always uplifting, pumping & groovy.
