Real name Tijs Verwest’s or Tiesto’s interest for music started at an early age of twelve. By the age of twenty he got involved very serious with music. As a DJ, because of his passion for music, he is nowadays, one of the most liked and famous DJ in the world. He is yet to be considered the godfather of electronic music. In 1999, his most performance took place at Gatecrasher’ Leeds, the most popular club of England. In 2000 he got break through with his unforgetful set at Innercity. With an anthem Gouryella, which was also a co-production with Ferry Corsten, became a Top 20 hit in England. But behind the glory and fame of this incredible DJ, the man behind the well known name DJ Tiësto is still a very usuall and normal guy from Breda, Neitherlands. Tiësto’s career is punctuated by landmark achievements. He is the first DJ in the world to have sold out a solo stadium event for over 25,000 people. He also scored a number one hit with his single Traffic, the first instrumental track to reach the top spot in his homeland of Holland. His remix of Delerium featuring Sarah McLachlan’s “Silence” was the first house track ever broadcast on daytime radio in North America. Tieso played live in front of billions of people during the Parade Of The Athletes at the official opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Athens. But despite his sky rocketing success, DJ Tiësto remains grounded about his achievements and clearly loves not just playing but also making music above the accomplishment it brings. The future for Tiësto promises yet further success, as the solo artist he has become and the DJ we know him to be. “Another album, more remixes, definitely,” he agrees, “but it is hard to look too far into the future. Every couple of months it seems that something new, unexpected and exciting is happening!” Tiësto is currently experimenting with new sounds in his studio and writing more vocals himself. “I am not looking for any big collaborations right now, I am more interested in a burgeoning talent; someone whose voice is good, and that really touches you. A voice should sound like an instrument to me. I have had a spell away from the studio, relaxing and travelling, but now I am really enthused about getting back in there. I am more open to doing remixes again. I like to hear a track and right away know what I want to do with it, what I can make different, and whether it will work for me in my sets; all my remixes have to be tried and tested.” |
