It's eS productions was founded by Mark Hilkemeijer in 2002. The then thirteen year old musician wanted to copyright and store his original songs professionally after he heard the school disk jockey used them without either asking him for permission or giving him any credit. The name It's eS comes from Mark's artist name, Ejay Snakehill, which he used for all digital music productions he has made since the year 2000. It's eS simply means "It is Ejay Snakehill's" and is usually pronounced, "It's-us". The music department remained for Ejay Snakehill's production and copyright purposes until the beginning of 2007, when Mark started contacting different musicians via YouTube, MySpace, artist forums, and personal connections to get a group of artists together. An international record label for musicians was born. At the end of 2005, Mark began practising the art of magic and in 2006 he added a magic-related department called DarkSleightZ to It's eS productions. DarkSleightZ is most notable for its very exclusive releases. In 2006, some professional artists including Mark formed a panel of judges and announced some talent contests on YouTube, calling themselves the YouTalent Group. One of these contests used to be the YouTalent Contest, known to be YouTube's biggest talent contest of all time. At the end of 2008, a professional talent scout and artist group from New York took over this department and went undercover by the name XTAGRO. At the beginning of 2009, Mark got involved with a software development project called TraOS with freelance developer Sander Groesbeek, head of this department. TraOS Inc.'s original goal was to create an operating system and plug-in which combines the three main operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Apple Macintosh and Linux, but this got suspended due to copyright issues. In 2010, TraOS Inc. announced The Support Checker, a group of random consumers and communication professionals who review Costumer Services and Supports of random companies. At the end of 2009, Mark contracted an anonymous writer who goes by the pseudonym Penelope. This project didn't suit any of the other departments and so got its own department within the company which was named after the writer's pseudonym. It's eS productions® is It's eS productions, DarkSleightZ, Traos Inc., XTAGRO and Penelope.
