From a shy teenager learning to play keyboards and spinning tunes, to an experienced artist.. At a young age Stanley Foort started working at a Rotterdam based record-store, got signed to their label and released his first production in 1990. Later that year Techno house project LA Style were in need of a new frontman... Stan decided to put his upcoming dj/producer-career on hold in order to do the "James Brown is Dead Worldtour". Of course performing as guest-dj @ the aftershows in countries such as Japan, Germany and Australia. 2 years later Stan bought some studio-gear and started producing from his own home. One of his demos reached a German producer who loved his voice. The result: "Heaven is here", a big clubhit in Germany. In '97 Stanford and buddy Rene van der Weyde produced "Keep your head up!" This actually was the first release under his Stanford moniker. Dancemusic-producers started noticing his songwriting-skills, resulting in more vocal contributions and songwriting with a string of other artists. All these productions, being put out under his own name Stanley Foort, as well as aliases such as Stanford, Spinn-Off and Fortizani, make it cristal-clear that Stan is a musical centipede. When attending a Stanford DJ|MC-set, expect anything ranging from deep&soulful sets to banging progressive, house, techhouse, tribal, and even a bite of techno. Ofcourse accompanied by his own versatile voice, freestyling over his set. Anything goes!
