About

Dutch-born DJ, producer, and author Sebastiaan Hooft has dedicated his life to music. Now based in Ibiza with his girlfriend and golden retriever, he combines a passion for sound with a mission to inspire healthier, happier, and more meaningful lives.

His story began with mixtapes in the schoolyard and afternoons working in a local record store, helping customers who would later become international DJs. Immersed in vinyl culture, he built his first turntables and developed a sharp ear for eclectic sounds. That same entrepreneurial spark carried him into the business world, where he launched more than twenty companies, earned a Deloitte Fast 50 listing, and appeared on Quote’s self-made list. After years of relentless work, his health collapsed in 2009. The crisis became a turning point: he stepped away from his companies to focus on health, meaning, and music. The transformation led to his book Redesign, a guide to building a successful life without losing balance.

He returned to the decks with renewed energy. Residencies followed at Amsterdam’s ClubNL and Escape, with his ClubNL nights even crowned “Hottest club night in the city” by DJguide. His productions soon entered the Beatport Top 100 and won support from Carl Cox, Joris Voorn, Adam Beyer, Belocca, and Paco Osuna. Performances took him across Europe and the US, from Berlin and Ibiza to Miami.

In 2015, he founded Redesign Records, a home for rising talents and his own releases. Alongside the label, he launched two radio projects: In Session Ibiza, hosted under his alias Seb_h, and The Midnight Project on DI.FM.

Living in Ibiza, he continues to merge music, community, and entrepreneurship. Whether on stage, in the studio, or through his writing, he lives by three principles: perfection, passion, and persistence, proof that transformation can become a lifelong rhythm.
