3 Vmixx [2012 EPK] 3 Biography Intro Hatim Hassanali, better known by his stage name Vmixx, grew up on the Coast of Mombasa, Kenya and is one of the youngest entertainers originating from East Africa. At the age of only 17, Vmixx has gained popularity worldwide, gaining radio airplay and top hits across Europe, Asia and Africa.

Entry into the music industry - The Early Years: First being introduced to Hip-hop, R&B, and Reggae by many of his elementary school friends, at age 8, his dance music awakening came and inspiration struck hard. Listening to producers like Basshunter, Tiesto and Armin van Buuren had inspired the young Hatim. Beginning with a laptop and demo version of Virtual DJ, Hatim set out to learn the basics of mixing music and picking out the right tracks for the right crowd. Although, It all changed when he received his first Casio keyboard on his 9th birthday, and later attending a short piano course, which helped him discover his musical talent and passion. They say many are born with music in their blood and many others are thrown into it unexpectedly. For Hatim, he was thrown into it unexpectedly. He grew up to normal parents, not musicians. His early production and DJ career began roughly, receiving constant criticism from family and the community at large. Catching his first production break with a release titled Extraction, Hatim was strong, focused and extremely motivated to make it. This was the beginning of the development of a musical phenomenon.
