David Guetta

DJing professionally from the age of 18, and after spending years on the French club scene wowing crowds and winning fans, David Guetta formed Gum Productions in 2001 in partnership with DJ and producer Joachim Garraud. He subsequently released his first hit single “Just A Little More Love” which charted across Europe. The success of this single afforded Guetta the opportunity to release his debut album of the same name on the Virgin Records Label.

Two studio albums later, David Guetta began to find some success within the UK and across mainland Europe with the release of his album “Pop Life”. But it was his 2009 album “One Love” which bought him international success with singles “When Love Takes Over” and “Sexy Bitch” storming the charts worldwide.

The success of Guetta’s collaborations with Kelly Rowland and Akon on “One Love” paved the way for a mountain of collaborations for his fifth studio album “Nothing but the Beat” which features Nicki Minaj, Sia, Snoop Dogg and Taio Cruz, amongst others. The album hit the number one spot in the UK and reached number five in the US, with “Where Them Girls At” and “Titanium” performing well in the US and beyond.

David Guetta has toured all over the world – both on solo stints and alongside Rihanna in 2013. He has literally travelled over a million miles to bring his dance anthems to all four corners of the globe, and is known for releasing the party animal in his fans.

With two Grammys already under his belt and a strong legion of fans from across the globe, David Guetta’s fame and success will continue to balloon. It is without doubt a success produced of hard work, and is more than deserved.

At a young age he began listening to some of the best electronic music composers such as Jean Michel Jarre, who had a significant influence on him. Armin van Buuren started to make music at the tender age of 14 after being inspired through listening to mix tapes and by the age of 19 he had already achieved success with the song “Blue Fear”, which was released under Cyber Records.

In the late ‘90s Armin van Buuren’s strong work ethic had him performing multiple nights per week as a DJ at club Nexus in Leiden, Netherlands where he really gained his chops as a performer. He soon began to break into the mainstream when his name made the list in the Top-100 of DJ Magazine. After this he began touring regularly across the country and made appearances at some of the top clubs in Europe such as Passion, Gatecrasher, and Godskitchen.

After the release of several compilation albums that featured his house and trance remixes, he released his debut album “76” in 2003. In this same year his name had escalated up the list to the No. 3 spot for the best DJ in the DJ Magazine and stayed at this rank for the next two years. By 2007 he finally reached the No. 1 spot on DJ Magazine’s list and was headlining huge festivals.

Armin van Buuren is a very prolific musician, who has released loads of remixes and singles. His 2013 album “Intense” achieved him success both commercially and critically. The album reached the No. 2 spot on the Billboard US Dance/Electronic Albums chart and received a Grammy nomination for the hit single “This is What it Feels Like”. The album was produced in the most crystal clear manner possible and contained elements of trance, house, dubstep, and classical music.

Being one of the well-respected DJs around, Armin van Buuren has been known to pull in large crowds and constantly sell out his tour dates. His concerts are packed full of excitement and have been known to go on for long periods of time. During one show at the Dancetheater in The Hague, Netherlands he played a record breaking 12 and half-hour set. Armin van Buuren has played to incredibly large crowds such as a packed out crowd at the Ultra Music Festival and to a crowd of 200,000 people at the Museumplein in Amsterdam when he was honoring the Dutch soccer team.

When Armin van Buuren is not writing new music or performing it you can hear him on his radio show “A State of Trance” where he plays the newest trance music out there. Armin van Buuren’s resume is a testament to the caliber of his music. He continues to sell out large amounts of shows and holds the record for most entries on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums chart in the US.
