Kimmo Kauppinen (25), a Finnish DJ/producer, started a project called K-SYSTEM in 1999. Although young, Kimmo is truly a seasoned dance-music professional both in his live performance and his songwriting abilities: Kimmo has been DJing since the age of 13, developing and working on his own style and material along the way.

In late '90s Kimmo noticed that he had enough ideas and own material to release his first single 'Come To Me' (July 1999). 'Come To Me' reached > the Finnish Dance Chart immediately and stayed on the chart for eight weeks. The highest position was #8 and the track received a lot of praise among the Finnish DJs. The second single ´You Gotta Love' was released in May 2000. It stayed on Finnish dance chart TOP 40 for 13 weeks, reaching the highest position at #8.
