Zany's 2002 song Be On Your Way has been used as the "Walk on" music for professional darts player Ted Hankey.[2]

Biography

[edit]

Zany lives in Veldhoven, near Eindhoven. After training as a chef, Zany worked for ten years in an Eindhoven record store. He started as a producer of techno and trance before he started focusing on hardstyle. He has toured abroad both with the Shadowlands Terrorists and performing under his own name.[3]

From 2001, using a variety of pseudonyms, Zany produced EPs and remixes for the Fusion label.

In 2002, Zany started a project under the name Donkey Rollers, which was aired at the Defqon.1 Festival as an act in 2005.[4]

In 2005, Zany gained third place at the Dutch Dance Awards.[5]
