# David Guetta

> David Guetta is a French DJ, producer and songwriter whose path from Paris clubs to global pop hinged on a simple working method: make records, test them in front of a crowd and follow the reaction. His 2009 work with Kelly Rowland, Akon and the Black Eyed Peas helped carry house music into American pop radio; later projects such as Jack Back and Future Rave kept him connected to club culture. In 2025 he won DJ Mag’s readers’ poll for a fifth time, and in June 2026 his Ultimate Monolith run sold 240,000 tickets across three nights at the Stade de France.
