Theis Vervest

DJ Tiesto is a real star in the world of electronic music. His compositions are popular in different parts of the world, his concerts are constantly sold out. Three times Tiesto was recognized as the best DJ in the world.

Theis Vervest is the real name of the DJ, was born in the Dutch city of Breda on January 17, 1969. The pseudonym "Tiesto" is a nickname from childhood, a modified name of the musician, which his friends pronounced in the Italian manner. Then no one knew that a harmless nickname would turn into a recognizable brand.

The young man began to take an interest in music early: at the age of 12, fascinated by Ben Librand's ability to create remixes on live radio, Theis asked his parents to give him a “turntable”. The guy was so seriously interested in mixing parts of the songs that after a couple of months he created the first recordings and began performing in his hometown with a "mobile show".

A couple of years later, Theis played records at school discos, and at 16 he became a resident of The Spock, the only club in Breda. The absence of other musical places in the vicinity later proved to be useful for the musician: he studied independently, developed in isolation from other DJs. Critics and colleagues say this is the reason for Tiesto's unique musical style.

In the early stages, Theis mixed contemporary Dutch music and the new acis house direction, later he switched to hardcore techno and gabber. In those years, DJing did not bring income, and Tiesto moonlighted as a postman, a salesman in an audio store. In an interview, the star says that if he had not become a musician, he might have worked as a cook - after all, cooks also make mixes, only culinary ones.

In 1994, the producer of Basic Recordings Beat accidentally got to the performance of the young musician: they liked the pretentiously mixed songs, and he offered Tiesto a contract. The first own collection of mixes "Forbidden Paradise" was a success with the public: Tiesto's music sounded on the English and German dance floors in a matter of days - this was in 1995.

A little later, the DJ met Arnie Bink, in a duet with whom in 1997 the guys created their own label "Black Hole Recordings" and jointly recorded compositions. By 2001, this record company had grown, and Theis organized his own division on its basis. There the DJ releases the best of his pieces under the Magic Muzik brand.

In an interview, Tiesto admits that he felt famous after performing in Amsterdam at the 1998 Innercity festival. After appearing on the legendary site, the club DJ gained thousands of fans, and hundreds of rave reviews about Tiesto's work were posted on the Internet.

In 2001, the talented young Dutchman released his first solo album, which instantly became a bestseller in America and Europe. For this plastic, Tiesto was awarded the prestigious Lucky Strike Dance Award. On the wave of success, the musician goes on an American tour, gathering full halls and stadiums for each concert.

After returning from the tour, Tiesto began to be invited to play the elite clubs of Ibiza, he performed as the main musician at the Gatecrasher, Mayday, Nature One festivals. At this time, fees allow you to forget about the need for other earnings, and the young man is given to "turntables".

Constantly in contact with the audience, the DJ realized that the people are ready from night to morning to dance to music, without sleep or rest. And he creates long sets, the longest recorded in Amsterdam - 13 hours long! The fact speaks not only of Tiesto's love for music, but also of his incredible ability to work.

The musician's popularity gave him the chance to take part in the Opening Ceremony of the 2004 Olympics, which took place in Greece. For two hours Tiesto led the musical accompaniment of the event live, mixing his own works. After that, the Dutch star likes to say that "literally conquered Olympus", because the holiday was held at the highest level. The organizers and the government were pleased with Tiesto's participation in the opening.

Another striking project of the musician is a party on a city beach in Rio de Janeiro. In the open air, Tiesto "lit" more than 200 thousand fans with his compositions: all Brazil was surprised at such a carnival.

After the success of the Dutchman, he was invited to several more concerts in Latin America - everywhere he was greeted with full houses. In 2009, the Dutchman participated in the creation of the album "Kaleidoscope" with Nelly Furtado, Emily Hines and Kele Okereke. The collection is interesting for the diverse genres of recorded tracks.

Since 2009, the DJ has been releasing clips, there are about 10 of them in the asset. The video for the track "Maximal Crazy" received the highest ratings from fans. An uncomplicated video was recorded at a live concert of the star: the main role in it was played by the audience, coming off to their favorite hit.

One of the last tracks of Tiesto was the song "Boom Boom", which the DJ recorded in 2016 with Seven. The rhythmic composition belongs to electronic: the dance hit blew up the world charts and dance floors, and is still accepted with pleasure by the public. "Move your booty and don't worry" - the authors of the composition urge the fans.

The DJ did not flaunt his personal life. It is known that for a long time Tiesto was in a relationship with model, winner of beauty contests Monique Spronk. In 2004, the lovers planned to get married, but they canceled the ceremony for unknown reasons, then broke up. For ten years, the public could only guess whether the musician's heart was free.

On December 3, 2017, a romantic photo of a DJ hugging his beloved model Anniku Backes appeared on the star's Instagram page. The caption to the post says that the man is going to spend the rest of his life with the girl and calls Annika "the love of his life." In the hand of the famous man, a black jewelry box is visible, and on Annika's hand there is a ring, probably an engagement.

Apparently, the inveterate bachelor will soon marry. The chosen one Tiesto is 21 years old, but the difference of 27 years does not prevent the couple from looking happy. The first joint photos of Annika and Tiesto on the girl's page on the social network are dated 2015, which means that the relationship has been going on since that period.

Theys biography is full of unusual facts: for example, once a guy broke the world record by drinking 31 cans of Red Bull energy drink. Doctors considered that this was a lethal dose, so Tiesto did not plan to repeat the feat. The DJ also collaborated with the Reebok and Armani brands - from the first he released and sold more than 1000 pairs of exclusive sneakers, from the second - T-shirts and T-shirts of his own design.

Today, Tiesto is the highest paid DJ in the world, and his touring schedule is scheduled months in advance. All the albums recorded by the artist have become successful in the world. For three years in a row, starting from 2002, Tiesto was recognized as the best DJ according to DJ Mag Top 100, for the next 11 years he did not leave the top three. No other musician in the world can boast of such awards.

In his free time from creating new hits, a man is engaged in charity work. Theis loves football, is a fan of London Arsenal. Taking into account the recent engagement, it is possible that Tiesto's wedding will take place in 2018.
