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.
The man behind some of the biggest anthems of the past few years, David Guetta is probably the best of his kind.
Previously not a house music fan, my mind was changed after a friend bought me a ticket to see David Guetta at Alexandra Palace in 2012. Reluctantly I went along, little did I know that after a 3 hour set, I would be converted forever!
Opening with ‘Titanium’ and following up with by blasting out hits like ‘When Love Takes Over’, ‘Sweat’ and ‘Wild Ones’, the crowd were sent into a frenzy as the energy in the room just kept on rising.
Clearly displaying why he is so respected by fellow DJs and artists alike, it may sound cheesy, but it really seemed like this is what David Guetta was born to do, as his permanent smile revealed just how much he was enjoying every minute. Huge production, made up of fireworks and confetti cannons, made the show even better.
It has always astounded me how DJs are able to sell out arenas, even stadiums in some parts of the world. The secret is in the infectiousness of their beats, something the David Guetta has perfected, making him one of the best. He has definitely converted me into a lifelong house music fan.
