BIOGRAPHY
Born in Eemnes on August 15th, 1985, this guy was immediately hooked on music. At 7 years old he had already started making recordings of everything that had anything to do with music.
At age 13, then named ‘DJ Jasper Ruisendaal’, he discovered the internet. On the then popular 538 Webstation, he started regularly hosting his own shows. After doing this, he decided to start making live radioshows on WebJam Radio, which very soon became Sundance Radio. There, he hosted an hour-long show in which he would keep the listener apprised of the dance-records of the time.
Later Jasper decided to quit making internet radio. He didn’t quit on the music however; in that period he made a lot of remixes of various hit songs. With a Benni Benassi remix he even made his Radio 538 debut, winning him a trip to the studio for an interview. Radio 538 organised a public judging of the mix, which landed him a 3rd place with a rating of 8.4 (on a scale of 10), thereby leaving DJs such as DJ Sandstorm (3FM), DJ Wout and DJ Luc Poublon on his tail.
In early 2006 Jasper decided to no longer be DJ Jasper Ruisendaal, but to change his name and become known on the dancefloors as Di Ruiz (pronounce: Ruu-eezz!), the name he is known for to this day.
