At the tender age of eight years old, Garritsen expressed an interest in becoming a DJ, sparked after witnessing a performance by DJ Tiesto and DJ Jayvee at the Athens Olympic Games in 2004. Garritsen has achieved his dream, honing his talent at Utrecht's production school, Herman Brood Academy.
In 2012 he won the coveted SLAM! FM DJ Talent of the Year Award, proving his talent at the age of 16. During this year, his remix of Christina Aguilera's "Your Body" was featured on the deluxe version of her album "Lotus," gaining the respect of the well-established singer.
With his 2013 track "Animals" Garrix had created a huge hit, reaching the top 10 in more than 10 countries as well as reaching number one in Belgium and the United Kingdom. Following this single, He also went on to become the youngest person to get to the number one spot on Beatport. His success also landed him in DJ mag's top 100 DJs of 2013, coming in at number 40. His December 2013 release, "Wizard", reached number six in Belgium and number 17 in the Netherlands.
At Ultra Music Festival in 2014, he provided a solid set that bolstered his popularity, featuring unheard collaborations with Dillon Francis, Hardwell and Afrojack.
Well my first impression of Martin Garrix's song Animals was what a party tune! I started to look into other songs of his and instantly fell in love.
I have all of his known songs and there isn't a day I don't listen to them and they get me pumped to get up and go! I appreciate the fact that he has worked with so many other djs, such as Hardwell, Tiesto, Jay Hardway and Julian Jordan and they have great collaborations.
Also, the fact that he is so young and has gone so far in such a short time is amazing. He is a very good looking guy and that is one the main reasons I began to like him, until i started to listen to more remixes and more collaborations, and fell in love with him even more. The fact that he has been wanting to be a dj since a young age and he has done before he was 18, was one other reason why he caught my eye. My sister recently seen him at EDC London and sent me a video, and the set he was playing sounded fantastic! I would really have loved to been there and experience it for myself, but unfortunately it was not meant to be. I really hope he comes to Ireland so I can experience one of his amazing sets for myself. The fact that he is doing so much at such a young age, really is quite amazing and how far is has come since his first song within the past year makes him all the more fantastic!
