DJ Tiesto

Tiësto (Tijs Verwest) born on January 17, 1969 in Breda, Noord-Brabant, Netherlands)[1] is one of the world's most famous trance DJs in the electronic dance music scene.[2] Although he has used many aliases in the past, he is best known for his work as DJ Tiësto.[3] On his latest productions, however, he has dropped the "DJ" label and he is now known simply as "Tiësto,"[4] an alias which is an Italian twist on his childhood nickname.[5]
He has been voted "best DJ in the World" 3 consecutive times by DJ magazine from 2002 through 2004,[6] the first DJ to play live at an Olympic Games at the 2004 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony in Athens and was nominated for a Grammy Award in December 2007, for his album Elements of Life.[7] In April 2006, Tiësto was named the official worldwide ambassador for the Dance4Life foundation,[8] fighting the spread of HIV/AIDS, for which he recorded the track "Dance4life."
Tiësto's motto is: "I feel the energy from the crowd and I try to give it back, to create a unity."[9]
