Born in 1977 in Hanover/Germany (with English, German, Syrian and Scottish influences to his gene pool), “Beatboy”-founder Benjamin Huk, is a real busy body and lives quite natural and focused on his work.

His parents, both musicians who play in international ensembles become company founders themselves. For Ben there is no other option, since they passed their passion for music on to their son.

Only a couple of months after establishing his business, agencies start to recommend him as a DJ, which enables him to build his own small studio, from the revenues.

But he also learns about the downsides of the business.

After his final-year examinations he is working in the management of a discotheque, which leads him to opening up his own club until he sells this very one and starts studying law. During his studies he continues to publish Cd’s, gives Interviews and performs as a DJ. In the year 2000 he produces with “Caicara” a song that is greatly celebrated at the Love Parade.
