At the age of 3 C.J. and his family moved from England to take up residence in Antwerp, Belgium. C.J. was always interested in music and musical instruments receiving his first keyboard for Christmas at the age of 4. In 1988 at the age of 17, with the help of a friend, a sampler and a few keyboards, the first example of C.J.'s music was produced. A local pirate radio station which was run by a friend, played and judged his tracks and this aroused interest throughout the house and techno fraternity. Throughout 1988 to 1990 C.J. sent tapes to various recording companies and the first to show any real interest was R&S Records, Belgium, who were impressed enough to sign him up and set him to work in the studio. His first record was released within weeks entitled "Look Into My Eyes" which appeared on the B-side of the project "Do That Dance". This was the start of a very successful career. "Horsepower" was released and the rest as they say is history. C.J. progressed through 91- 95 with R&S records then came to the point where he could no longer develop his career and he began looking elsewhere. He signed a contract with “Internal" records a label from "London Records" which in turn is a subsidiary from "Polygram" and "Warner". C.J. released a "12", a C.D. single and the album "Analogue Theatre" [ "There Can Be Only One", "The Prophet" and "Sugar is Sweeter" ] to mention but a few. "Sugar is Sweeter" is to be heard in the feature film 'I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" and has been used in a television commercial for Impulse deodorant. His single “t Ain't Gonna Be Me" which is the title track of the cult film "Human Traffic" was released in June, 1999. It is, however, during this time that CJ performed some of his most high profile remixes including reworks for Depeche Mode, Moby, Phuture, Orbital, Sven Vaeth, The Prodigy and Tori Amos amongst others. Differences with his record company is what CJ led to set up his own label:Mole Records:”I felt it was time I took a more hands on approach to what happens with my music. I got sick of hoping stuff would get released. Now I can truly be free in my music and can decide when and what goes out there.”, he says adding “the only thing I can be certain of is that it brings freedom and that freedom allows me to be creative again. It’s that same frame of mind that the first five years at R&S allowed me to have then were no trends or trains to spot because we were still inventing them. Now I can startinventing all over again and don’t have to answer to anybody."
