Personal life
Boris Brejcha was born in Ludwigshafen, Germany, in 1981. At the age of six, he was seriously injured in the Ramstein air show disaster becoming badly burnt and spent months in the hospital.[8] He states in an interview:
- This was a special incident in my life. I was alone, I was a little boy and I was in an extreme situation.
At the age of 40 Brejcha still bears extensive scars from the severity of the burns.[9]
Brejcha was inspired to learn how to make electronic music in middle school after a classmate of his brought a Thunderdome CD. He began producing electronic music at the age of 12.[9]
Brechja's first music release was in 2006. That same year, he performed his first festival at the Universo Paralello Festival in Brazil. Since then, his Joker mask, inspired by the Carnival of Venice, has been his trademark. Numerous gigs in South America and Russia soon followed and he continues to tour to this day.[9] He was named "Exceptional Talent 2007" in the music magazine "Raveline".[9]
He went on to release music on Autist Records and later on Harthouse. Brechja's music has become known as belonging to the genre "high tech minimal".
