Johan Hoogewijs studied at the Brussels film-school R.I.T.S, and started his piano-studies at the Conservatory of Leuven. Later on, he participated at several jazz-workshops at the Conservatory of Liège. As a composer Hoogewijs is an autodidact. His styles differ as he composes for film and TV since the 80’s: pop, jazz, electronic compositions but also classical and contemporary works for orchestra. His diversity, which characterizes his music, is appreciated by producers and directors in Belgium and the Netherlands.

Apart from his work for radio, television and film, he also made music for several modern dance choreographers. He created hundreds of jingles for the public Belgian network. He composed for documentaries, short movies and highly appreciated drama-series as Langs de Kade, Niet voor Publicatie, Heterdaad and Witse, Russen and Deadline for Belgian and Dutch TV. More then 200 episodes of drama-series gave him a lot of experience and insight in composing for the image. Among his feature film credits are Bloedbroeders, Wnky's Horse and Life in One Day.

He worked with several known orchestra’s in Belgium and Holland and worked on several occasions with Toots Thielemans as a harmonica soloist, also on a few liveconcert-occasions.
