Tiësto biography

Tiësto, real name, Tijs Michiel Verwest, is a Grammy-winning Dutch DJ and record producer who began making music at the age of 25.

Tiësto has used various stage names over the course of his career, but Tiësto, which is a variation on a childhood nickname, has stuck. From his multiple Grammy nominations (and Grammy win!) to his accolades from Rolling Stone and Mixmag to his certified gold and platinum hits, Tiësto remains one of the world's top DJs – no easy feat for an artist whose career has spanned decades.

After dominating both the house and trance worlds, Tiësto has successfully brought his brand of dance music to the masses with his latest release, A Town Called Paradise, and through collaborations with artists like The Chainsmokers, Martin Garrix and Oliver Heldens, to name a few.

In addition to headlining the world's biggest festivals and holding residency in Las Vegas, Tiësto cultivates new sounds within the genre through his record labels, Musical Freedom and AFTR:HRS, and through his weekly radio show, Clublife.

Outside of the dance world, Tiësto is a frequent collaborator and remixer to the biggest names in music, including Beyoncé, Kanye West, Coldplay, Sam Smith, Major Lazer, Calvin Harris and many more. Most recently, Tiësto and John Legend teamed up to reprise their 2015 Grammy-winning remix, "All Of Me," with a summer 2016 anthem, "Summer Nights."

To top off his near-constant touring schedule and unwavering commitment to producing some of the world's best music, Tiësto has extended his sensibilities into the tech and lifestyle sectors, acting as an advisor to startups like Splice and Dubset and crafting his new re-designed mobile app to create an engaging, interactive experience for his fans. His current partnerships with T-Mobile and Budweiser prove his indisputable worth as a global ambassador of dance music culture.

Not afraid to put himself out there, Tiësto has created a brand of music, which is instantly recognizable and enjoyable. He has also achieved many firsts in his career, including being the first DJ to play live at an Olympics opening ceremony, and will certainly continue to innovate within the industry for years to come.

Live reviews

It’s hard to capture the energy of a Tiësto show by simply writing about it. The EDM powerhouse has become the epitome of a commercial success, having managed to break out of EMD-heavy countries including his native Holland, penetrating formerly untapped markets to become a global reference for EDM in the past decade. His music has changed significantly over the past few years, mostly in an effort to break into the commercial market, which he’s managed to do with a range of female vocalists featured on tracks which have since become club anthems. Still, that means his shows have only become that much bigger, performing with synth-heavy, beat driven tracks in front of massive crowds all over the world. From headlining EDM festivals like the world-renowned Tomorrowland in Belgium, to hitting all major hotels along the Las Vegas strip, and even having a regular residency on Spain’s party island Ibiza, there’s no limit to where Tiësto will go.
His ever-expanding shows project an incomparable aura and energy from crowds heavily under the influence of his music (and likely other substances). His In Search of Sunrise and Club Life series albums epitomize his live sets, while his five studio albums with their countless remixes ensure an insane amount of ammo for his live performances. It seems like Tiësto never stops performing, and it’s almost like there’s nowhere he wouldn’t go to rouse the crowd.
