A French house producer whose collaborations with singers like Sia and Akon defined 2010s radio.
For the early sound, check 'Sound Of Letting Go' with Chris Willis. The later pop shift is all over 'Sexy Bitch' with Akon.
Guetta's knack for matching club beats with pop hooks turned dance music into a mainstream language. Tracks like 'Titanium' with Sia became anthems, and his work with Chris Willis on early cuts like 'Sound Of Letting Go' set the template. He kept the sound evolving by pulling in voices from hip-hop and R&B, making the DJ booth feel like a pop studio.
He started spinning records in Paris nightclubs in the 1980s, then put out his first album 'Just a Little More Love' in 2001. Over seven studio albums, he moved from house grooves to bigger pop collaborations, working with everyone from Usher to Nicki Minaj.
