Martin Garritsen

Martin Garrix (real name Martijn Garritsen) is a Dutch DJ and music producer. He became a worldwide star after the release of his track Animals. The young man was twice recognized as "the best DJ in the world" by the magazine "DJ Magazine". Martin is 175 cm tall and weighs 70 kg.

Garrix was born in the village of Amstelveen, near Amsterdam. From the age of four, the boy became interested in music and began to take guitar lessons. Four years later, Martin saw Tiesto perform at the Athens Olympics and realized that he wanted to become a DJ.

The young man successfully graduated from the Herman Brod Music Academy. During his studies, Martin signed his first contract with the label Spinnin Records. He was only 14 years old and became the youngest resident. Garrix managed to combine study and work.

In the early 2000s, Martin was noticed by his childhood idol, Tiësto. The man liked the young man's track "Torrent", and he recorded it on his label. This event inspired Garrix to write his first album.

Martin's biography changed dramatically after the release of the track "Animals" in 2013. The composition hit the TOP-10 in all European countries and became the best-selling song in the Beatport electronic store. After the success of Animals, Martin Garrix's name was recognized all over the world.

Immediately after the release of the track, information appeared on the Web that it was not written by a novice DJ. Then the young man recorded an hour-long video, where he told in detail how he worked on the composition. During the video, Martin blurted out that he was using unlicensed software.

The track "Don't look Down" was recorded on March 15, 2015 and was the answer to all ill-wishers who write bad comments to Martin on the Web, saying that he is a loser and will not achieve anything. The track was recorded in a duet with vocalist Asher.

Two months later, a new track was recorded in a duet with Tiesto - "The Only Wayis Up". Translated into Russian - "The only way is up." The composition came out so inspiring and vigorous that the world famous brand "7UP" bought the rights to it for a commercial.

In the fall of 2014, Garrix came to Russia to perform in Moscow at the birthday of Radio Record. The young man became the headliner of the celebration, which lasted eight hours. Together with him, other eminent DJs and performers performed on the stage.

In 2015, Martin performed at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami. During the performance, the DJ presented 8 new compositions to the public. His performance took an hour and was a huge success.

At the beginning of 2016, the young man made an important step in his career - he opened his own label, STMPD RCRDS. In the spring, he released the first track under a new label. During the interview, Martin stated that he will be recording many new tracks and they will be performed in different genres.

On March 18, 2016, the talented DJ again performed at the Ultra Music Festival. During the performance, Garrix presented new tracks, which were later included in his new album.

Martin is known for his unusual advertising campaigns. For example, to whet the public's attention to the release of a new track "Virus", Martin and DJ MOTi simulated hacking into their Twitter accounts. On their page, they published a certain computer code that indicated the release date of the composition. In October 2016, the DJ tweeted:

And actually released seven of his new tracks within a week. In January 2017, Dua Lipa and Martin Garrix released a video for the joint song "Scared To Be Lonely". The video came out very sexy, like the track itself. On its first day on YouTube, the video received a million views.

In the spring of 2017, another new DJ track was released, recorded together with Troy Sivan. The clip "There For You" was # 1 on the App Store, and hundreds of millions of fans watched it on YouTube.

In November 2017, Martin recorded a song and a video for it with the famous DJ David Guetta. The composition "So Far Away" in the first week broke into all the world's top charts and remained in the TOP-10 until the spring of 2018.

On February 23, 2018, Garrix, together with David Guetta and Brooks, released a song called "Like I Do". On February 25, the track led the closing ceremony of the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang. Garrix became the second DJ to be invited to the official part of the Olympic Games.

The charitable projects of the young man should be separately noted. In 2016, he performed at the Fuck Cancerand Magic Bus festival in Los Angeles, all of which went to the Fuck Cancer Foundation for Early Cancer Detection. In the same year, Martin began his tour with a charity concert in India, which was attended by almost 50 thousand people.

In 2017, Garrix became an “international friend” for the SOS Children's Village in South Africa. The charitable foundation is building houses for children who have lost their parents and live on the street. In an interview, the DJ said that he was horrified by the children he saw who were left without parents and any support.

Martin Garrix is ​​a young, successful, popular guy. Girls constantly pay attention to him. In 2013, he had a romantic relationship with popular model and artist Lynn Spoor. The relationship lasted almost two years, but due to difficult work schedules, the couple broke up.

In 2015, the DJ began dating famous blogger Sonia Horn, but the couple broke up in the summer of 2016. The guys did not voice the reason for the separation, but on the Web they talked about the betrayal of the young man.

In the spring of 2017, there were rumors that Martin was dating a Dutch model, but the young man denied them during an interview. Later it turned out that he did this to keep the details of his personal life secret.

Sharelle Shrik became his lover. The girl conquers European and world catwalks, takes pictures for glossy magazines and rests with her boyfriend. The couple post joint photos, videos, and attend social events.

After a triumphant performance at the closing of the Olympics, Garrix continued to work on his new album. The young man left with his family to Ibiza to gain strength, emotions, impressions and go on tour in the summer. The tour will begin on July 5th and will last until August 30th.
