Marco de Hollander (real name Marco de Brave) was born on February 4, 1982 in Ter Aar. As a young boy he was already behind the microphone at his father's ('Disco Henkie) pirate radio station (Radio L.O.T. now known as RTV Hollands Midden).

At the age of 19 he released his first single "Hart voor L.O.T. " and "Bedankt zeg ik met rozen". This was a surprise for the 12.5 years anniversary of Radio L.O.T. where he was (and still is) a DJ.

Slowly but steady Marco was having more fun and he released an album "Leve de Liefde".
