Claude VonStroke

Claude VonStroke moved to Detroit, Michigan at a young age. It was there that he harnessed his talents and honed his craft. He initially had a passion for hip-hop music, which would later develop into an infatuation for electronic music. He decided to move to Los Angeles, and earned his rent and bills money working as a production assistant and location scout. Fortunately this job put VonStroke in a position to work on a documentary entitled “Intellect: Techno House Progressive”. In the making of this project he landed the opportunity to interview over fifty DJs.

He would later meet with “The Martin Brothers”, and established a record label called “Dirtybird”. He was fortunate to have his wife Aundy fund the project, who gave him the ultimatum that he had to turn it into a success in one year otherwise she would cut him off financially. Fortunately, Fabric invited VonStroke to create a mix, and of course he took the opportunity in a heartbeat. With this feature on his CV, VonStroke would go on to release a slew of full-length studio albums including his debut in 2006 entitled “Beware of the Bird”, and “Bird Brain” in 2009. He released his third studio album, “Urban Animal” in 2013. He has also embarked on many international tours with headline performances at the popular T in The Park and Sub Club.
