The music business life of many artists is rather short – but not that of Sir Colin, who was discovered as a young talent with his own unique music style, has been topping the charts for years and was several times elected Switzerland’s best DJ … Engin Colin Kilic was born in Wädenswil (ZH). As early as at the age of twelve, the Swissman of Turkish origin started to put on hip hop records and to organize parties at the youth club of Wädenswil.

Back in 1997, Sir Colin created the successful label "Park'in Place Music" with his partner Bülent Aksoy alias DJ Owen. For more than 10 years, this agency has been giving up-and-coming young DJ’s the opportunity to be managed and promoted by a team of professionals. Before long, this talented artist got his first bookings at various parties and clubs. In 1998, he became resident DJ of the club "Pravda" in Lucerne. Shortly after, Engin set up his own studio and started to produce his own songs.

He laid a solid foundation as a qualified construction designer and constructed his home in music business brick by brick.
In 2000, one of the Park'in Place Music owner’s dreams came true: He was booked by the "OXA" Club in Zurich. He took his chance and asserted himself with an impulsive set. After this successful full-house event, the OXA management engaged DJ Sir Colin for further performances. In 2001, he became resident DJ for the monthly edition of "Double House", where the Swiss top DJ’s are streaming in and out.
2001, another milestone year has begun! The OXA management gives this up-and-coming artist the chance to mix the compilation for the famous party series "Ibiza Reunion". 2 years later, Sir Colin mixed the official house compilation "Street Parade – Let the sunshine in" on behalf of the Street Parade Committee as well as "Street Parade – House & RnB Mix" in 2004.

Meanwhile, he has released over 30 albums with success, received several gold awards and every three months a new chart-attacker follows. With his characteristic music style “Hip House” he was the first Swiss act to conquer the Swiss music business and is now Switzerland’s most booked DJ.
