In the entertainment scene where disc jockeys (DJs) are not as popular as musicians to a great extent, David Guetta is no doubt a unique talent that stands out. Apart from being a world-renowned DJ, he is a record producer, songwriter, and remixer with over thirty million singles as well as 9 million albums sold. Though he previously released an album each in 2004 and 2007, it was his 2009 album “One Love” which had the hit song When Love Takes Over that brought him international recognition. In the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs poll conducted in 2011, he was voted as the number one for his laudable works.
David Guetta – Bio, Age
David Pierre Guetta was born in Paris, France, on the 7th of November 1967 to a Moroccan-Jewish father and a Belgian mother. His initial experience as a Dj began in Paris at the Broad Club. Before he discovered house music, he used to play normal popular songs just like his counterparts. However, in 1987, things changed after listening to one of Farley Jackmaster Funk songs on a radio station in France. The following year, he got the chance to host club nights where he would play house music. He then collaborated with French hip-hop rapper Sidney Duteil to release Nation Rap in 1990. He soon became one of the managers of the nightclub “Le Palace” where he spearheaded the organization of high profile parties.
David Guetta launched his first production company with Joachim Garraud in 2001. He thus released the hit single, Just a Little More Love, a collaborative effort with Chris Willis, an American singer who he met while he was vacationing in France. The following year, an album with the same title (Just a Little More Love) was released under Virgin Records and the album did well to sell over 300,000 units.
International Breakthrough
In the course of his carer as a Dj in his home country of France, he was quite successful but it was after the release of his fourth album “One Love” in 2009 that he started gaining some major international publicity. More so, due to the fact that he featured Kelly Rowland (one of the members of the now defunct girl group, “The Destiny’s Child”) on the song When Love Takes Over, the song was an instant hit. The single was a chart-topper in many countries and it did well to reach the number 1 spot in the UK Singles Chart.
In 2011, David Guetta was named number one in the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs poll, a position decided through the votes of fans. This came after the release of his new album and the beat which further solidified his international standings as a formidable Dj. The album featured break-out singles like Turn Me On Little Bad Girl, Where Them Girls At, Without You, and Titanium. In 2013, the 2009 hit song When Love Takes Over was crowned the number one dance-pop collaboration of all time.
Personal Life – Wife, Girlfriend
