David Guetta (born 7 November 1967 in Paris) is a French DJ. He began mixing his first vinyls at home at the age of 13, and organised parties in his basement at 15.1 Two years later, he was working at a DJ in a club called 'Broad', based in in Paris. This was effectively where he launched his career. From 1988 to 1990, he mixed house music at Radio Nova. In 2005, his single "The World Is Mine", which contains a sample of Simple Minds "Someone Somewhere In Summertime", topped European dance charts. The vocals for most of his singles are performed by singer Chris Willis, except on "Baby When The Light" where they were done by Cozi Costi.
He is also known for his appearance in an advertisement for L'Oréal hair cream.citation needed
In 2008, he was elected as World DJ Nr. 5 by the British DJ Mag.2
He has also been playing in many countries around the world to promote his 2007 album "Pop Life". He played in Mauritius on the 12th of January 2008 accompanied by French rapper JoeyStarr of the French rap group NTM. In the same year, he and his wife Cathy also planned a new event which took place in the Stade de France on 5 July 2008. He performed with Tiesto, Carl Cox, Joachim Garraud and Martin Solveig in front of 40,000 spectators.3 The Sensation White, where Guetta performed several times, seems to be the inspiration.
