Martin Garrix Story Highlights

1.Tiësto as his origin story

Martin Garrix's story started when he was just eight years old. It all began after he was captivated by Dutch DJ Tiesto's performance at the Athens Olympics Opening Ceremony in 2004. This sparked his love for music, and with his family's enthusiastic support, he picked up the guitar.

When he was ten, his dad surprised him with a treehouse-turned-music-studio, complete with speakers. This awesome gift gave Garrix the perfect spot to jam out. Through his teenage years, he was all about teaching himself, perfecting both playing songs and making his own music.

2. Mini DJ

By the time he was just ten, Garrix, going by DJ Marty, was already rocking gigs at weddings and cozy events. Armed with his guitar and computer skills, he knew just how to get the party going.

3. Becoming a hit DJ

In 2012, Tiësto discovered Garrix's talent when he dropped his remix of Enrique Iglesias’ banger "Tonight (I’m Loving You)". This moment was a game-changer in Martin Garrix’s story. It led Garrix to sign with Spinnin Records, where he dropped his first jams like "BFAM" and "Error 404". So, if you're wondering how Martin Garrix got famous, well, this label was the launchpad. It's where he really took off with the smash hit "Animals" in 2013. 

“I was making all my music in my bedroom at my parents’ house and when I made “Animals” I had no idea what was about to happen. Then the songs started to be played worldwide and it was all very unreal for me,” said Garrix in an interview with GQ.

Then in 2016, Garrix took a bold step and founded his very own label, STMPD RCRDS, joining forces with Sony Music for distribution. Since then, this record label has skyrocketed to become a household name in the dance music industry.

4. Friends and family always come first

“My parents support me completely. Their attitude is: if you’re happy, we’re happy and they can see I love making music, DJing and partying, so they’re pleased,” expressed Garrix himself in 2014.

5. Exploring different genres

The top DJ is known for his versatility and willingness to explore various genres within the electronic dance music (EDM) spectrum. While he gained initial fame with big room and progressive house tracks like "Animals," he has since delved into other genres.

This includes future bass, tropical house, and even experimenting with pop-infused sounds. For instance, “Scared to Be Lonely” (2017) Garrix's willingness to push boundaries and experiment with different styles has contributed to his continued success and popularity in the music industry.
