Where it all began

Welcome to the official website of DJ Bipolar.

My name is Daan and I am from The Netherlands. 34 years young. I live on the coast with my dog Happy.

‘” Since my diagnose in 2016 of having Bipolar II which manifested 20 years ago, as well as a High Sensitive Person (HSP) a lot changed in my life. My brain is obviously different. I was recovering from my second burn out, starting with my medication and searching for my new identity en purpose.  I decided I had to change the course I was sailing. I stopped working for large Telecom corporates and went back to my passion: Music. I decided to try and go all the way as music makes me happy, and keeps me in the present, which is important for me. 

I am an open book and will try to take you on a personal and musical journey that describes what it is like to have Bipolar and how I see the world and life. Bipolar people are different but there is no reason to keep your distance from them. Personally I like to think we are gifted. I am now Ambassador  for Samen Sterk Zonder Stigma, the Dutch Foundation that fights stigma around mental vulnerabilities. Labels of any kind should be a thing of the past. 

So: Let’s end that shall we?”
