David Guetta

From the 2009 party banger “Sexy chick” to his latest song “Dangerous” this French DJ never ceases to amaze us with his fantastic taste for music. Those of you who don’t know, I’m talking about the world famous “David Guetta” who celebrates his birthday today, the 7^th of November. Born in Paris, France in the year 1967 this EDM Mogul is universally accredited with being one of the 1^st DJs to open up the world of Electronic Music to Global chart audiences.

He began DJing at 18 at the “Broad Club” in Paris by playing popular tunes. He released his debut album “Just a little more love” in 2002 selling 300,000+ copies. As the years progressed he gradually witnessed stardom through his 4^th album “One Love” which produced many #1 songs including “When Love takes over”, “Sexy Chick” etc.  He also produced the massive hit “I Gotta feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas which topped in 17 countries and went on to become the most downloaded song of all time in the U.S.

Furthermore he received 5 nominations at the 52^nd Grammy Awards and to add to it he was voted as the #1 DJ by the DJ Magazine in 2011. His 5^th studio album “Nothing but the beat” also produced fantastic tracks like “Without you”, “Titanium”. Florida’s club hit “Club can’t handle me” and Kelly Rowland’s “Commander” were some of his great works. He has also collaborated with hotties like Rihanna, Nicki minaj and Britney spears on numerous world wide hits.

David Guetta’s massively hyped 6^th studio album “Listen” due on the 21^st of November. This star studded album will feature artists from R&B, Hip-Hop, Rock, Electronic and Pop worlds  such as John Legend, Sam Martin, The Script, Nicki Minaj, Ryan Tedder, Magic!, Nico and Vinz and  Sia. Avicii, Nicky Romero, Afrojack and Showtek have also collaborated with Guetta on his new Project. 

Does the 47 year old EDM giant still have what it takes to put forth an album which will produce world wide hits?? Well, we will just have to wait and see it for ourselves. I would like to end this post by saying; Age plays no role in whatever you do, as long as you have the will-power and dedication to do it. Cheers!!
