Timucin Fabian Kwong Wah Aluo was born in the UK in 1987. With that name you can imagine that he comes from a multi-ethnic family. His father is Turkish, his mother is Malaysian and he grew up with a Nigerian stepfather.
- All that cultural mix influenced him musically in his youth, and still does.
- Although he started studying classical guitar, at the age of 15 he switched to mixing boards and music production software like Cubase 🎛️
- He would soon start playing in clubs in London.
His parents convinced him to go to college, but he didn’t give up music, even though he had to drive 2 hours a day 🚘 to get to the recording studio where he rehearsed.
- He used to upload his beats to MySpace. One of the first was ‘Yeah yeah yeah‘.
In 2014 he became independent, well! his parents pushed him a little bit telling him he couldn’t go back home 😅.

Rose to fame with I Got U
In 2014 he wrote a song as a birthday gift for his girlfriend. The tune was ‘I Got U‘. At the same time, he met Duke Durmont, a popular House DJ. Together they finished shaping the track, which would become a mega-hit.
- Given the success, they carried on collaboratin on a couple more songs: Won’t Look Back and Ocean Drive.
- He would also release a solo single called House Work, about which he explained:
At the end of the day, I started making beats on a four-track, so it feels right to put that DIY energy into my music
