Biography
After a degree in commercial studies, Albers played in the Dutch national baseball team and was triple Dutch arm-wrestling champion.[1] Then, he started his career as DJ, and was a radio host on Dutch music and sport programs for eleven years.
His original stage name was Jei D. In 1992 (R&S Records),[2] under the stage name JayDee, he released "Plastic Dreams",[1] which reached number-one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. The song, an instrumental, featured a prominent Hammond organ-style synthesizer melody,[1] played in a jazzy, improvised manner. "Plastic Dreams" continues to be remixed and re-released today, mostly on unsolicited white labels. The track made the UK Singles Chart on two occasions; firstly in September 1997 when it reached number 18, and again in January 2004, when it reached number 35.[3]
Albers created his own record label, First Impression.
