Zany's 2002 song Be On Your Way has been used as the "Walk on" music for professional darts player Ted Hankey.
Zany lives in Veldhoven, near Eindhoven. After training as a chef, Zany worked for ten years in an Eindhoven record store. He started as a producer of techno and trance before he started focusing on hardstyle. He has toured abroad both with the Shadowlands Terrorists and performing under his own name.
From 2001, using a variety of pseudonyms, Zany produced EPs and remixes for the Fusion label.
