David Guetta Biography

France’s David Guetta’s rise to fame as one of the era’s most prominence DJs wasn’t exactly overnight. Guetta had spent years DJ-ing around his native country before he met up with Robert Owens, a US house legend on tour, in 1992. After presenting Owens with a selection of tracks, Owens picked one he’d like to sing over. The result, “Up and Away,” became a minor hit, but got the ball rolling for David Guetta.

It would be until 2001, nearly a decade later, before Guetta would resurface with “Just a Little More Love” in 2001. The single featured Chris Willis, a gospel singer. The single continued to surface in sets for a few years, in an electro version and then later in a pumped-up remix. Also around this time, David Guetta acquired a bootleg remix of “Heros” by David Bowie, which had been re-titled “Just for One Day.” Bowie gave the green light to release the track, which became David Guetta’s breakthrough. David Guetta featured the track on his first mix CD, Fuck Me I’m Famous, in 2003. A series of albums followed: Just a Little More Love (2004), Guetta Blaster (2004), Poplife (2007), Fuck Me I'm Famous: International, Vol. 2  (2008), and One Love (2009.) One Love featured singles with Kelly Rowland, Akon, and Chris Willis, and became David’s big breakthrough; the album went on to garner David Guetta five Grammy nominations.

Since that time, David Guetta has released the additional albums Nothing But the Beat (2011), Nothing But the Beat 2.0 (2012), and Listen (2014.) Between 2011 and 2014 Guetta released dozens of high-charting singles, including: “Where Them Girls At” (featuring Flo Rida and Nicki Minaj); “Little Bad Girl” (with Taio Cruz and Ludacris); “Without You” (featuring Usher); “Lunar” w9th Afrojack); “Titanium” (with Sia); “Night of Your Life” (with Jennifer Hudson): and “She Wolf” (with Sia Furler.)

Today, David Guetta is firmly established as one of the era’s most sought-after DJs, both for his original material and for his countless remixes and collaborations. In 2013, Billboard magazine named Guetta’s single “When Love Takes Over” to be the number one dance-pop collaboration of all time. Guetta recently wrapped up an extensive tour and is now back in the studio, preparing new material for an upcoming album and future collaborations.
