An exchange program brought him to the Berklee College of Music in Boston, where he took lessons from Mick Goodrick and Bruce Bartlett.
In this time he played with the band Balkan Tribes and participated in the soundtrack "The Watcher" featuring Keanu Reeves.
Back in the Netherlands he contributed in numerous bands and projects covering a variety of musical styles,
from brazil, chanson, jazz and popmusic to electronic music. Ilja worked with producer Greg Hover (Manic Street Preachers)
and played guitar on the album "Absorber" of the Munich-based techno-star Zombie Nation.
After graduating and a year of masters he moved in 2002 to Berlin and focused on composing and producing music.
In 2007 Ilja participates at the Berlinale Talentcampus and wins the VW Score Competition.
