Music Career
Bellamy studied piano and classical guitar before focusing on sound design. His early endeavours in electronic music led to an award for best original score for the Quebec short film L’Exode. Working under the name Eardesigns, he went on to compose experimental, ambient and down-tempo tracks.
In 2003, Bellamy shifted his focus to house and techno, and adopted the artist name Super Agent 33. His early efforts were rewarded when listeners of the WRVU radio show Mixdown voted him among the top ten artists of 2004. For 2005, he was their first runner-up for remixer/producer, and for 2006, they chose him as remixer/producer of the year. During this period, he also won remixing competitions for artists including The Project, Pete Venkman, Seven Heads and The Real Tuesday Weld.
These accomplishments drew the attention of Milan-based Total Wipes Productions, as well as Romanian producer Cristian Paduraru, who recruited Super Agent 33 as a remixer and an A&R representative for his label.
In 2008, his original release The Tribe Anthem became a top seller on the Total Wipes label, which subsequently released a three-volume remix compilation based on this track.
Around 2009, Super Agent 33 began turning out a wide variety of dancefloor anthems for producers Undah-dub at Decibel NYC and Coolrogrox at Digital Vinyl Recordings (DVR). These labels regularly call on him to create tribal dance remixes of artists such as No Government, A.D. Cruze and Eva Soul, as well as Aguizi, Daemon Sick and Processing Vessel.
In January 2012, the original track Evolving was featured as a Beatport staff pick, setting the tone for a year in which Super Agent 33 is delivering a new EP whose lead-off single, ShellShock, has been selected by DVR to premiere at WMC 2012. The follow-up track, Break the Silence, will debut in May, 2012 at DEMF. In addition, several new Super Agent 33 remixes are scheduled for release through DVR.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or career:
“If I could believe the Quakers banned music because church music is so damn bad, I should view them with approval.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
