Hailing from the Netherlands, Garrix showed interest in music at an early age. His music skills increased once learning to play the guitar at the tender age of 8. After witnessing a mind-blowing performance by fellow popular DJ Tiësto in 2004, his exciting career path began. After downloading software to hone his production skills, he graduated from school Herman Brood Academy in 2013. 2013 was a prosperous year for Garrix, as he also experienced his first taste of fame with his song “Animals”.
The Martin Garrix Effect
The song became a hit in several European countries. This allowed Martin Garrix to become the youngest person to reach number one on the electronic music-oriented platform, Beatport. In June of the same year, Garrix appeared on DJ Magazine‘s top 100 DJs list. He made his second appearance on the list in 2014, at number 4. That same year, In Garrix collaborated with Dutch duo Firebeatz on “Helicopter,” which reached number one on the Beatport Top 100.
The song topped the charts for two weeks. After the release of his debut EP, Garrix continued to collaborate with fellow mainstream DJs, such as DJ MOTi and Afrojack. This year, he has teamed with Indian singer Arijit Singh to create their new single, “Weightless”. Released on Garrix’s label, STMPD RCRDS, the song’s entrancing beat, paired with Singh’s haunting vocals, creates a euphoric journey that our ears will never forget. With hypnotic hits like this under his belt, one can’t help but wonder what Garrix is cooking up next.
