BIOGRAPHY

 

Johannes Zech, known by his stage name Faizar, was born in 1990 and grew up in the quaint district of Biskirchen, Leun, surrounded by the music of his talented parents. From an early age, his love for sound was evident, starting piano lessons at age 9, though his passion soon shifted from classical music to something far more electrifying.

By 15, Johannes had fallen under the spell of electronic music. This newfound fascination drove him to create and perform his own tracks. In 2008, his love for the hard-hitting beats of hardstyle ignited, and he began sharing his own productions on YouTube, quickly building a devoted following. His breakthrough came in 2009 when he placed 5th in Brennan Heart's Remix Contest with his remix of "Faith in You DJ," standing out among industry heavyweights Da Tweekaz and Silver Nikan.


In 2011, Johannes teamed up with fellow artist Fabian Schmidt (D!-Saint) to form Omegatypez. Their single "Dirty Style" catapulted them to success, leading to a signing with Fusion Records and performances at major events like Tomorrowland, Defqon.1, Mayday, and Hard With Style. Their journey was electric, but by 2013, the duo parted ways, each pursuing different artistic paths.


Faizar was born in 2014, as Johannes embarked on a solo journey, dedicated to pushing the boundaries of hardstyle. With multiple releases on Fusion Records and Hard With Style, he cemented his place in the genre. His last major release came in 2018 with the remix of Omegatypez's "Wanna Feel," leaving fans eager for more.


Fast forward to 2024, a year brimming with renewed energy and ambition. With an unwavering passion for hardstyle, Faizar continues his mission to connect with fans around the world. In October 2024, he took a bold step by signing with the label "Melodic Hardstyle," a move that perfectly aligns with his evolving sound and vision.


As Faizar himself says: "I want my music to spark emotions, creating unforgettable moments that stay with us for life." With this mantra, he’s set to make waves in the hardstyle scene once again, ready to inspire and move audiences through the power of sound.
