                Dirk 
                  Denoyelle 
                ... was born 
                  on October 2nd 1964 in Roeselare, Belgium. Until he graduated 
                  as an Electronics Engineer at the University of Leuven, he lived 
                  in Brussels. He worked for two years in a "real" job 
                  at the world famous Micro-Electronics Research Center IMEC in 
                  Leuven. Then he fulfilled his compulsory military service and 
                  a short period of free lance journalism.  
                  In 1991 he jumped into the artistic dark: he started a career 
                  as a professional comedian. Very soon his incredible voice talents 
                  were discovered by national radio and TV. There are not many 
                  people capable of imitating over 150 voices in Belgium 
 
                  Dirk made series for about every radio station in the Dutch 
                  speaking half of the country, and was a guest in many TV-programmes. 
                  Six CDs with his work were released. 
                  Since 1999 he also is involved in LEGO building: he is one of 
                  the nine LEGO Certified Professionals in the world (!). And 
                  on the side, he learns foreign languages, just for fun. Correction: 
                  mainly for fun, but also in order to conquer the entire European 
                  market!  
                  If you're looking for someone who knows how to make a living 
                  out of his hobbies: he's your man!

                he spent a few years working for an electronics company. For a 
                few years. But then, fortunately, he "saw the light", 
                and fully dedicated himself to music. He got a degree at the Antwerp 
                Academy of Music in 1988. He is working as a music teacher in 
                several Academies in and around Antwerp, and since 1993 he is

                that. In some shows he's been even more active beside than after 
                his keyboards! Not to mention his third profession: Kris is a 
                great webmaster, and software developer.
