David Guetta: At age 13, he began mixing his first vinyls. At 17, he worked as a DJ at 'Broad' in Paris, launching his career. From 1988–1990, he mixed house music at Radio Nova. In 2005, his single The World is Mine, which contains a sample of Simple Minds Someone Somewhere in Summertime, topped European dance charts. On the same year, he performed in the Creamfields festival in Spain, with such artists as The Chemical Brothers and Carl Cox. He has also performed at Creamfields UK, again alongside The Chemical Brothers, Carl Cox and other big name DJs.
The year 2007 was his: he was elected as World DJ Nr. 10 by the British DJ Mag. Earlier that year, in July, he was the first DJ to perform a live set on board a commercial plane leaving Paris for Ibiza and on New Year's Day, he appeared at Big Beach Boutique 3, a concert held on the beach of Brighton, UK, put together and headlined by Fatboy Slim.
Last July he performed together with Tiesto, Carl Cox, Joachim Garraud and Martin Solveig in front of 40.000 spectators, in France.

As artists they’re constantly pushing at the boundaries of uplifting electronic music and reaping the rewards (and awards) in equal measure.
