It all began during his relentless quest to find the perfect sound. Sonix stumbled upon Trance around '96 when a friend handed him an Oakenfold mixtape in Canada. Upon listening to only the first few minutes of Oakey's tape, Sonix knew at that moment that he found what he was searching for for a long time. In the midst of his frequent travels and busy schedule, one element in his life that remained constant in familiar territory and that felt right at home was Trance. It gave him the opportunity to focus on tranquility, on being at peace with oneself and with the world, and tune out the hecticness that life demanded. Ever since then, Trance and all of its forms have became his escape to musical and spiritual bliss, a dimension outside of the limitations of space and time.
In 1997, Sonix began exploring the different aspects of Trance and Progressive productions. With his experience from playing the piano and saxophone as well as knowledge in music theory and heavy influence from film music, Sonix produced a type of progressive music that was (and still is) full of crescendos, epic builds, dramatic effects in the classical sense, and that induced strong emotions and nostalgic feelings, yet funky and playful at times as well. Since then, Sonix, naturally, has been focusing on evoking emotions and feelings through his music. Such interaction has given his unique take on music its own genre, with rich layering of intricate sounds and prolonged builds, just like a soundtrack to life found evident in his music and live sets, with ups and downs, surprise twists and turns, sending chills down the spine.
In hopes of spreading the love for Trance, Sonix started his independent SnX Records label in 1998. While mixing in the studio and DJing at parties throughout Canada, his unique massive sound quickly magnetized the hearts of many fans across the nation.
