Klapr was born in Jakarta, Indonesia 1986. From long before he become a DJ, he used to breakdance with his friends and learned music from the culture. Growing up listening to all kinds of music, such as hip hop, funk, ambient, soul, blues, and jazz, he decided to learn to be a DJ. Finally after gruesome years of practice and digging, in 2005 he started introducing himself as DJ KLAPR and start his voyage by making mix-tapes and play at underground parties.
