With his main inspiration deriving from Funk, Hip-Hop, Electro, House, and Techno he started to assemble his own production studio (Hybrid productions) during the 80´s. As well as studying Kung-Fu, Breakdancing and Graffiti. During the 90´s and 00´s Cari´s music productions resulted in hundreds of record releases, DJ and live performances plus non-stop worldwide tours with countless appearances on Television and Radio. Future plans and dreams for Cari include music and sound effects for video-games, film and television as well as producing more artists and solo projects.

Most releases have appeared on H-Productions. The first Hybrid releases were Electro/Hip-Hop inspired beats, sadly sparse due to lack of currency. But around 1992 the label started a proper vinyl 12" inch output with the help of Glenn Wilson and Planet Rhythm Records. A few years later the label was accepted on the international electronic underground scene with its uncompromising cutting edge dance-music sounds.
