Pierre David Guetta (French pronunciation: [pjɛʁ david geta]; /ˈɡɛˈtə/; born 7 November 1967) is a
French DJ, record producer and songwriter who has sold over nine million albums and thirty million
singles worldwide.[4] In 2011, Guetta was voted as the number one DJ in the DJ Mag Top 100

collaboration of all time.[6]
Born and raised in Paris, he released his first album, Just a Little More Love, in 2002. Later, he
released Guetta Blaster (2004) and Pop Life (2007). Guetta achieved mainstream success with his
2009 album One Love which included the hit singles "When Love Takes Over", "Gettin' Over You",
"Sexy Bitch" and "Memories", the first three of which reached number one in the United Kingdom.
The 2011 follow-up album, Nothing but the Beat, continued this success, containing the hit singles
"Where Them Girls At", "Little Bad Girl", "Without You", "Titanium" and "Turn Me On". He is among
the first DJs to get into the EDM scene and is known as the "grandfather of EDM".[7]
