Guided by a deep curiosity and hunger for adventure, he set out on a journey that took him to Thailand—where everything changed. It was New Year’s Eve 2016 at the SIMIRAM Festival on Koh Phangan, his very first electronic music festival. The dancefloor was a wooden platform suspended above the sea, facing a giant rock where vivid visual projections lit up the night. As the first sunrise of the year began to rise behind the horizon, a magical scene unfolded—beautiful women performed a fire show atop the rock, while a violinist linked up with the DJ, weaving haunting melodies into the beat. In that moment, surrounded by rhythm, light, and connection, COTU felt the true spirit of unity and freedom that lives on the dancefloor. That morning changed everything. His journey brought him to the United States. It was there, during a difficult chapter of life, that he began DJing—not for fame, but as a form of therapy. The music helped him heal, and now, through every mix he creates, COTU tells a story. Each set is a journey—through emotional landscapes, introspective moods, and moments of ecstatic release. Since then, he's played coast to coast—from underground warehouse raves in LA and iconic Clinic Wednesdays, Sirens, Boga Venice, Members, Kateen to Minimal Effort at the Globe Theater, California's Deseract gatherings, festivals in the Mojave Desert, Bombay Beach, and the legendary Burning Man Playa (House of Love, Luna Art Crane, Camp Dacha, PG Squirt House, 1001 Nights , Tree Of Life , SoulSound , Kuker Art Car , Vitruvian Lounge , Bloom Camp). He’s even brought his deep, storytelling sets to Do Not Sit On The Furniture, the beloved Florida-born iconic club, and to NYC Speak Softly.
