Tom van Rooijen A.K.A. ‘’Anklebreaker’’ is known for his passion for melodies on the piano and he wants to share these melodies with the world!
At first he started to play piano at his parent's house, by just fooling around with the keys. The first melody he learned to play by ear was ‘’Keep it coming’’ by D-block & S-te-fan. It was also the first melody that he recorded and posted on Youtube , Channel ‘’howyoudoing88’’. After all the great responses on the video he decided to make more covers! Many videos are shared by the biggest names in the scene like Headhunterz, D-block & S-te-fan, Q-dance, Frontliner, Da tweekaz and many more.
Not long after that, he started to make his own melodies. One melody changed a lot for Tom. He was so convinced that his melody could be an awesome hardstyle track. This melody caught the attention of ‘Cristiano’. Cristiano A.K.A. ‘’Technoboy’’ is a legend in the hard dance scene and travels the world to showcase his tracks and DJ talents. He contacted Tom and ‘’involved’’ him in his project to make a track together.
The track is called ‘’Technoboy & Anklebreaker - Celebrate Life’’ and was premiered at ’’Qlimax 2012’’ for thousands of people. Technoboy invited Tom and his wife to be part of this magical moment. Watch the full story at
