Early Career
He started practicing his freestyle skills in the summer of 1990 and honed his skills as a battle MC from that moment 'til the late 90's and basically until way after he signed a record deal and produced major hit records. In the eighties stage shows were mostly 'talent shows' and school performances. He starts to gradually perform more after a first 'real' show at 'Locomotion' in Zoetermeer in 1990. Throughout the 90s he builds a rep and basically shows up at every open mic session in the Benelux. (Today, he's still known as one of the most prolific lyricists the country of Holland has ever seen.) Several producers and parties offer contracts. Not feeling the way these offers are set up, Brainpower is determined to start out on his own.
