William Sami Etienne Grigasin

Two weeks after the long-awaited June came, the French handsome with his comrades Tyga and J. Balvin released another musical novelty, which fans immediately unanimously called the main hit of the summer - 2019. A bright, colorful video for the incredibly positive and incendiary hit Loco Contigo is less than in a month managed to gain a record number of views on Youtube video hosting - 45 million.

However, the aforementioned video was released for a reason, but on a very solemn event - on June 13, 2019, the Snake DJ (William Sami Etienne Grigasin) reached the age of Christ and accepted congratulations on his birthday. 33 years ago, he was born into an Algerian family who moved to the suburb of Paris Hermont, where he spent all his childhood. The performer has repeatedly emphasized this fact of his biography on Twitter.

William preferred to call the area nothing but ghetto. The sonorous pseudonym under which he later became famous all over the world, "clung" to him since his early youth, when the teenager was fond of creating graffiti and had a unique gift - to hide from the representatives of the law at lightning speed. In Russian, the nickname is translated as "snake", and, according to publications in the media, the artist does not like to be called that, preferring to be addressed by name.

В 14 лет мальчик понял, что учеба — занятие скучное по сравнению с творчеством, поэтому и решил оставить школу и устроиться на подработку в музыкальный магазин. Благодаря этому он в дальнейшем смог завязать нужные знакомства и обрасти связями — с Cypress Hill и KRS-One, а также с DJ Cut Killer. Персонаж последнего в киноленте «Ненависть», по признанию знаменитости, и вовсе окончательно подтолкнул его к карьере диджея.

На старте своего звездного пути DJ Snake стоял за вертушками и отвечал за мелодичную атмосферу небольших по вместимости клубов, затем перебрался на большие площадки, среди них числились и Les Baines Douches, и VIPRoom. В одном из них начинающий диджей познакомился с музыкальным менеджером Стивом Гонсалесом, настоявшим, чтобы тот принялся за создание собственных произведений.

At the age of 19, William tried his hand as a producer, and already at 25 thanks to him, the album of the queen of outrageous Lady Gaga was released, for which the DJ subsequently received a Grammy nomination. DJ Snake also had a hand in the songs of Kanye West, AlunaGeorge, Duck Sauce and Junior Senior, creating remixes on them.

Until the release of his solo disc in 2016, DJ Snake was seen creating music compilations and works in tandem with other artists. For example, in 2013, the collaboration with Lil John resulted in Turn Down for What, which received flattering reviews from critics and the public and took leading positions in the prestigious electronic charts.

The next year, in tandem with Dillon Francis, the hit Get Low appeared, which again sent William to the Billboard Artist 100. By the way, the cinematic director could not resist the track and included it in the 7th part of Fast and the Furious.

Ремикс на You Know You Like It, написанный за несколько часов, позднее получил двойной платиновый статус, а Lean On, созданный с Major Lazer и MØ, только закрепил прошлый результат. От журнала «Тайм» получил звание «Лучшая песня – 2015», произвел сенсацию на Spotify, став самой прослушиваемой композицией за всю историю сервиса, а индийский видеоклип на нее к 2019-му набрал почти 3 млрд просмотров.

В том же 2015-м Уилл участвовал в масштабном Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, и его трек, исполненный там, позднее оказался в десятке лучших по версии «Шазама». А через 12 месяцев француз более чем заслуженно попал в другой почетный список — «30 до 30» по мнению журнала «Форбс».

Первым в дискографии французского диджея числится Encore, включивший в себя 14 треков, среди которых нашлось место и дуэту с Джастином Бибером Let Me Love You. Сюжет ролика, получивший от журнала Rolling Stone «прозвище» «Бонни и Клайд с изюминкой», также нашел отклик у пользователей Youtube.

Частью образа и имиджа DJ Snake, особенно в начале карьеры, оказались солнечные очки, используемые, впрочем, не как модный аксессуар или по прямому назначению, а чтобы снизить нервное состояние своего «хозяина». Сначала Уильям боялся выходить и играть для многотысячной толпы, и такой выход из сложившейся ситуации предложил менеджер.

It seems that every photo from the French DJ's personal Instagram account deserves to become at least a cover for a glossy publication that broadcasts to men and women about new products in the fashion industry and fashion trends. The pictures are juicy, bright, stylish and, most importantly, memorable.

The only drawback is that it is difficult to find something with even a slight hint of personal life, mostly solid work. But, if you take a closer look at them, you can see even now the absence of a wedding ring on the ring finger.

Perhaps the latter influenced the spread of rumors that after the joint in 2018, the relationship with Selena Gomez grew from official to romantic, and the media representatives allegedly saw the couple at dinner in a restaurant. However, there was no confirmation from the stars about their status.

2018 became very fruitful for the hard worker William - he launched his own label and bright tracks, including Taki Taki with Selena Gomez, Cardi B and Ozuna recorded.
