Dominik J. Tanner, known as DJ Tanner, hails from Amherst, Nova Scotia, where he grew up immersed in the world of mechanics due to his father's motor repair shop. However, his true passion lay in the digital realm, and he quickly found himself drawn to computer programming at a young age. Eventually, his love for technology merged seamlessly with his affinity for music, leading him to explore the world of electronic beats, rhythms and what he didn’t know as called techno.
