Inspired by his brother Blaxtar, Typhoon started writing at the age of 12 and as a rap artist with the group Rudeteenz, which he joined in when he was 15.

He made some guest appearances for Opgezwolle before winning Grote Prijs, the biggest hip-hop prize in the Netherlands.

He started making separate thematic songs for a Dutch music channel called "The Box" with the producer Nav.

In 2006 he started working on his solo debut Tussen Licht en Lucht which was released the next year.

In 2014, Typhoon released his second solo-album to critical acclaim; Lobi da Basi (Surinamese for Love rules) made him a festival-favourite with both hip-hop and pop-audiences.
