Behind the name 4 Strings hides 2 musicians, Carlo Resoort (March 1,1973) and Jan de Vos (August 9,1974). The two have known each other since 1986. In 1990 they became interested in dance music, and from that moment on, they started making there own music. All their spare time was spend in the studio. Throughout the next couple of years not only did their skills expand but also the amount of equipment in their studio. With the new tools and experience that they had, they could finally discover in which direction they wanted to go with their musical careers: Carlo decided to stay in the studio while Jan found his passion in mixing and started his DJing career. Carlo Resoort started with trance music in 1994, and soon after that he had his first release. After a couple of releases he had his first major breakthrough: "Carlos - the silmarilla", produced together with Piet Bervoets of Rank 1. Two years later he had another hit with "Turn it around". Around this same time, a new record company was born, "Spinnin Records". The first meeting between Carlo and Spinnin Records was very positive! Shortly thereafter Carlo signed his first record deal and 4 Strings was born.
