David Guetta

A renowned and world's most sought-after producer, who in his career's initial days worked as a DJ at nightclubs, Pierre David Guetta is now a genre-busting hitmaker whose in-your-face fusion of electro and hip-hop beautifully wraps the pop landscape. DJing professionally from the age of 17, Guetta co-founded Gum Productions in year 2003, and that same year Guetta released a successful album titled "Just a Little More Love", followed by two most popular albums in quick succession, the Guetta Blaster and Pop Life. The chartbuster One Love, along with a collection of hit singles like Getting’ over you, When Takes Over or Sexy Bitch, released in 2009, made him an international music icon. While Sexy Bitch featuring Akon claimed the #1 spot in U.K., another hit single Memories caught the rage in many countries across the world. With over three million albums and fifteen million singles to his credit, David Guetta has become one of the most sought-after names in music production and has found the no.1 spot in the DJ Mag 100 popularity poll in 2012. France's David Guetta is a name that belongs to the sparkling wave of DJs who combine Daft Punk's sleek house music with a pinch of electroclash's punch.Receiver of multiple best DJ awards, Guetta also bagged two Grammys as a producer. Owner of two music studios in Paris, Guetta is also credited for producing people like Jenifer Lopez, Rihanna, Madonna and Kylie Minogue. No wonder then, when it comes to raking in moolah, the French DJ and music producer is a winner all the way. His estimated net worth comes around to a total of $35 million.While David Guetta may have made a fortune, little is known of his spending. When he is not producing music, Guetta spends his time travelling around the world doing shows. His club brand F**k Me I’m Famous sells out every week during the hot summer months at Pacha in Ibiza. David Guetta isn’t the kind of millionaire that turns up for concerts in chic designer wear. Cool and casual-that is what this 44 year old prefers sticking to. Known to have a passion for sporting footwear, Guetta was spotted wearing a pair of Christian Louboutin trainers studded with silver spikes at a concert in 2010. Thrifty and down to earth, that, we guess, would be the best way to describe this non-smoking, non-drinking Parisian music producer.Guetta was born in Tipton Paris on 7th November 1967. His father was a restauranter of Moroccan Jewish descent. In Guetta’s own words, his parents were extreme leftists. As the celebrated DJ puts it, “everything was against the system”. At the age of eight, he would stroll down Parisian streets barefooted. Back in the 80s when DJing wasn’t a familiar term with many people, Guetta’s parents had frowned upon their son’s choice of career. To them, places like nightclubs were “terrible and fake”. The rest, as we all know, is history. An avid admirer of Prince during his teenage years, Guetta has gone from throwing crazy parties in his parent’s basement to playing for packed houses at concerts and shows. Married to socialite Cathy Guetta, David is the proud father of two children Angie and Tim Elvis Eric.
