Electronic dance music (sometimes referred to as EDM) is music produced with the help of cutting edge technology.
Original sound tracks are remixed using a synthesizer, a computer, and other electronic devices. EDM is largely created by DJs (disk jockeys) and is intended mostly for use in nightclubs, and for large crowds. One of the best-known celebrities of electronic dance music who electrifies audiences around the world is the Dutch DJ Tiesto (real name Tijs Michiel Verwest).Here is what he has to say about his work and rise to fame.
Early Days
I was born in Breda, Holland, on January 17, 1969. I come from a poor family. When I was fourteen, I started playing at student parties, birthdays, and events like that. At nineteen, I was able to develop my own style. I would play from 10 P.M. until 4 A.M. on weekends.
