Jan Verstraeten emerged from the Ghent’s (Belgium) punk and hardcore scenes, where he embraced the DIY spirit through basement recordings, handmade merchandise, and screen-printed leather jackets. Initially focused on contemporary art and installations blending traditional techniques with ready-mades, Jan eventually returned to music, craving its raw, universal connection. His debut EP Cheap Dreams (2019) started as a soundtrack for an unfinished film project, introducing his signature mix of music and visual storytelling. This was followed by Violent Disco, a bold 2022 album inspired by 1970s cinema, love, and fantastic creatures.
