Armin Van Buuren
Performing and producing music in the house genres and trance, Armin has become a leading DJ around the world with 3 years being announced the top DJ among all artists in that music style. Born in 1976 in the Netherlands, he became an icon for the young generations not only because of creating extraordinary tracks, but also because of mixing other features and styles in his performances.
Armin graduated from high school in 1995 but his interest for music was gradually increasing. He became a law student later but his love for house and trance music were remarkable thus leading him to this first job at a local club called Nexus. There he first experienced the love of the crowd, the addiction to the sound and the opportunities this might reveal. Feeling that he is capable of having a DJ career, he put his law degree on hold to develop music projects and, although he graduated with a law degree, in 1999 he made his way to the top European charts enjoying a very successful season from the exhibition of his talents in Ibiza, Spain -a top place for all DJs performing in the house genre.
The following years made Armin Van Buuren an influential figure in the house music -by successfully releasing a couple of albums he menaged to mix features of the progressive house music, techno and trance in a compilation knows as ’A State of Trance'(different from his weekly radio releases under the same name). Working with several well known American and British artists and releasing another successful album, Van Buuren had a massive 11, 000 fans concert with a 9 hour long set prepared only by him. This gained him a world-wide music recognition and the following year, 2007, he was rated number one DJ among one of the best DJs performing.
Influenced by different trends in the house and trance music and creating tracks with extreme sharpness and sound, Armin still remains the top DJ with millions of fans and visited destinations. His music is a symbol of the 21st century generation and a valuable contribution to the house music as a whole.
