Volldrauf was born in Köln (Cologne, Germany). He was raised there until the age of 13, which is when he moved to the United States. While being raised in Germany, he was immersed in an open-minded culture with lots of diversity. Some say that this is what has strongly influenced his music over the years. He grew up with Trance, Techno, House, Drum and Bass and other electronic genres. He learned how to play the piano at the age of 8, which he still incorporates in many of his original tracks to this day. When he was 14 years old, he built his own computer and installed DJ software to start learning the art of mixing and has since been cultivating those skills. He later went into computer engineering but decided to leave that career to pursue his true passion. By the time he was 18, he started playing at reputable venues such as Mansion, Envy Lounge and more! Volldrauf decided to progress his music career at the age of 22, which is when he started to produce music. After a few unofficial yet successful remixes, he was able to gain some traction and quickly gained a following.
