Esko

*1994
Producer of Electronic and Hip-Hop/Rap
A.k.a. Stacey Walroud

The career of Esko (aka Stacey Walroud born March 7th of 1994) began at the young age of 13 and originally as a rapper instead of a producer. In his youth he already listened to rap / hip-hop music, introduced by a very good friend who was living in the same neighborhood. This friend also introduced him in the hip-hop scene. Like any rapper he began with stealing beats from the internet and other platforms. His brother introduced him with the Magix Music Maker software, with which he soon couldn't do as he pleased, which led towards a switch into using Fruity Loops, with which he still produces 'till date. Esko was formerly not known as a sweet, correct boy, from time to time he kept engaging in criminal activities also often hung in a community center in his neighborhood, where he had close contact with one of the counselors there, called Bart van Houten. Bart immediately and always saw the talent and potential Stacey has within him and wanted to give him opportunities. But Stacey himself at that 13 year-old age was very opinionated, stubborn & was rather on the Streets hustling. On his 16th his parents decided to send him to a boarding school, ever-since his life completely changed, transferring a street kid into a young adult. Nowadays Stacey produces mainly, but still raps too.
