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.
It was an amazing show he put up there!!!! Third time seeing him live and always blows out my expectations!!!! Without a doubt one of the best shows in Atlanta so far, can't wait for the next time! I NEED R3HAB!!!!
At the age of 18, it is pretty bizarre to think that Dutch DJ/Producer Martin Garrix achieved one of the most international dance hits of 2013 with 'Animals'. At 17 years of age, it was impressive to think an artist so young had achieved the production values of someone far beyond his years.
He soon became hot property and huge names in the industry were either praising his work and asking to collaborate. He created more music with the likes of Afrojack and Jay Hardway, most of which now features in his live show. Despite not being able to legally go clubbing in most of the European countries he performs in, Garrix knows how to bring the party vibe with him.
He has a strong production team behind him, with complex lighting displays and pyrotechnics emphasising drops and changes in his dance tracks. The crowd goes wild throughout yet when the introduction to 'The Wizard' and 'Animals' begin they erupt in cheers and the DJ smiles wildly. He is clearly aware he has achieved a lot for his age and he seems incredibly happy with his situation as he jumps around stage along with his adoring fans.
