He began his career in 2010 when he started writing and recording his own music as a freshman at Loyola High School, before releasing his debut EP Private World in May of 2011 with his band of the same name as the EP.[2] On September 15, 2012, he left Private World to pursue a solo career in trap music production and film composition.[1]

Background

edit

Ian Wiedenman was born on November 2, 1994 in Torrance, California. He learned piano from his mother at age 11 by studying classical music and composing music in that style. He performed covers and original compositions at various venues as early as 2006.[1]

Van Dijck studied music production and guitar at Codarts.[5] He graduated in 2012.[6] Before he became a well-known DJ and producer, he was teaching children to play guitar. After years of working with bands, Van Dijck began ghost producing for DJs. His production experienced considerable commercial success, which led him to consider going solo and creating the stage name, San Holo.[7]

History

In September 2014, Walt Disney Pictures threatened a lawsuit against producer Sander van Dijck.[11] They thought his stage name San Holo was too similar to Han Solo, a character in the Star Wars movies.[11] Heroic Recordings label stated: "We are shocked by the instituted proceedings. That is very unfortunate for Sander. It should be clear that he has chosen his name for love of Star Wars. To interpret it in completely the opposite way is crazy. We find his latest release fantastic and hope that this will not stop him in his success as an artist."[citation needed]
