In 2020 to 2021, he took on the position of tour manager for Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, under the commission of PANOUT, before returning to his role as production manager for Afrojack from 2021 to 2025, this time also commissioned by PANOUT.
Throughout this period, he also undertook various ad hoc production and tour responsibilities for festivals and artists, showcasing his versatility and adaptability in the industry. As of 2025, he has made the switch to Hardwell as production manager, while remaining connected to Afrojack in the role of technical advancer.

As a co-founder of the Panout Collective, he has helped build a platform that not only connects professionals but also fosters the exchange of knowledge, experience and support within the world of live events.

Alongside Moksi, he has contributed to tours and shows for several other artists, broadening his expertise in advancing, production management and tour management.
Now, as the tour manager for Dimitri Vegas, he continues to develop and apply his flexible, solution-oriented approach to touring and production. Whether leading global tours or stepping in for ad hoc roles, he thrives in the fast-paced, ever-evolving world of live events – and looks forward to many more stages, stories and shared successes in the years to come.
