Learning from the Best at the Tomorrowland Academy

This week marks my sixth time attending a Tomorrowland Academy Bootcamp – and honestly, it never gets old. For five days, I'm surrounded by a group of passionate young DJs, all between the ages of 12 and 16, learning directly from experienced professionals who've played the biggest stages in the world. The atmosphere in Den Oven, right next to the iconic Tomorrowland site in Boom, is buzzing with energy, beats, and dreams.

What makes this experience so special is not only the people but also the professional setup. The DJ gear we get to work on is the same equipment used by legends like Carl Cox and Solomun. That's a dream come true for anyone who's serious about becoming a DJ. It's a unique chance to improve my skills and prepare for what's next.

And for me, what's next is huge.

In less than two weeks, on July 19, I'll be performing on the Rise Stage at Tomorrowland 2025. Yes, it still feels unreal. Just a few years ago, I was doing my first real set at a school event. Now, I'm part of the actual line-up of one of the world's biggest festivals.

This bootcamp is the perfect warm-up and reminder of how far I've come – and how much I still want to grow. Thanks to Tomorrowland Academy for always believing in young talent and giving us a stage to dream, learn, and shine.

See you at the Rise Stage!
