With only 17 years old John-e started as a DJ in Macau in 1994. One year later he initiated his professional career at Club UFO, achieving, later on, a daily residence. He was the pioneer of dance music in Macau and played in Hong Kong at the famous I-Spy parties. Also in Asia, he was a resident in Club Santa Fe, located at Ko-Samui island in Tailand and also played in the famous Ko-Phagans Full Moon Parties.
John-e lived in London between 1997 and 2000 playing regularly at clubs like the 414 and George IV (both in Brixton) and in some underground festivals. With these playing experiences John-e gained very British electronic roots: playing various musical styles such as break-beat, minimal techno, progressive or deep-house, mixing it all up a bit.
He moves to Portugal in 2000 continuing his activity as a DJ and beginning his career as a producer. In 2002, already with more consistency, he begins to play live with a laptop, a 16 channels mixer, a synthesizer and FXs as part of the projects ZOOM (dedicated to trance) and, later on, Stereo Addiction (dedicated to house) together with his friend/colleague DJ Gustavo. These projects took them to Kyoto, in Japan, in July 2003, and to a two-day festival in the mountain where they also played as DJs. John-e was also performing at some major events like Underworlds concert in Coliseu de Lisboa, at Da Providers tent in 2004s Optimus Hype @ Meco, with Infusion and Dave Seaman, in Switzerland at Club Spider Galaxy,at Pacha Club with Sander Kleinenberg and finally in Sudoeste Festival 2006 to close the festivals 1st day after Africa Bambatas set.
John-e is, nationally, gradually becoming more popular. His style has been developing, transforming itself and getting richer with more and different musical influences. His performance creates energy moments on the dance-floor. His favourite style is funky, deep and hypnotic house, basing it on an excellent musical selection and a perfect technique, always innovating and exploring everything new that can be joined with music. Has been spinning along with names such as: Underworld, Infusion, Nick Warren, Dave Seaman, Sander Kleinenberg, Trentemoller, Kasey Taylor, to name a few.
After a fully booked in 2005, John-e is nominee for best newcomer Dj by Dance Club Magazine and Portugal night.
