[edit] DJ years
René was initially a DJ in Norway and was mostly responsible for Aqua being formed, discovering female vocalist Lene Nystrøm Rasted on a cruise ship in 1994 and also bringing together Søren Rasted and Claus Norreen to complete the group. Before Aqua he released a single called "Så rykker vi (Shedet hvor det rykker)" with his first band Stop & Stop. With his second band Factual Beat he released three singles "I Believe", "Give Me Your Love" and "Anywhere". After the main group Aqua split-up in 2001 he released three solo singles, "Let It All Out (Push It)", "The Uhh Uhh Song" and "Uhh La La La".
René Dif announced on his official site that his solo album was almost finished, and Mr.Dif was working on an English movie. Fans are also excited because Rene Dif states the possibilty of an Aqua Greatest Hits on his official website.
René Dif has also enjoyed fame posing as Mr. Breakfast on www.mrbreakfast.com[1]
René Dif is also known for his close friendship with the American star actor Wesley Snipes. On one occasion when Snipes appeared on the award winning Danish show "Casper og Mandrilaftalen" he is even supposed to have said: "INGEN skal skade René Dif fra Aquà, Han er bar' så sød" (NOBODY may harm René Dif from Aquá, he is such a sweet guy." René Dif, as we all know, is notoriously afraid of "ler duer" (clay doves). Therefore Wesley established his "Black Educational Project" that teaches young men to shoot these "ler duer".[citation needed]
