Martijn Gerard Garritsen was born on May 14, 1996, in Amstelveen, Netherlands. He showed an early interest in music, learning to play the guitar at age 8. His ambition to become a DJ was solidified in 2004 after witnessing Tiësto perform at the Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony in Athens. This experience led him to acquire FL Studio, a digital audio workstation, and begin producing his own music. By 2013, he had graduated from the Herman Brood Academy in Utrecht.
Garrix gained significant early career momentum after being discovered by Tiësto. He signed with Spinnin’ Records in 2012, releasing collaborations such as “BFAM” with Julian Jordan and “Error 404” with Jay Hardway. His breakthrough came on June 16, 2013, with the solo release of “Animals.” This single quickly became a hit across Europe, making him the youngest artist to achieve a number-one spot on Beatport. His rising profile led to appearances on DJ Magazine’s Top 100 DJs list, entering at number 40 in 2013 and climbing to number 4 in 2014.
His career progression included a deal with Scooter Braun Projects in 2013 and headlining the Ultra Music Festival in 2014 at just 17 years old, where he debuted several new tracks and collaborations. In 2015, he expanded his sound to progressive house, releasing tracks like “Don’t Look Down” featuring Usher. A major turning point occurred in August 2015 when he departed from Spinnin’ Records and MusicAllStars Management due to a dispute over music ownership rights. This led him to establish his own record label, Stmpd Rcrds, in 2016, through which he released his first single, “Now That I’ve Found You.” His influence grew further with a worldwide contract with Sony Music International in July 2016 and being named the world’s top DJ by DJ Mag for three consecutive years (2016, 2017, and 2018). In 2018, he collaborated with Khalid on “Ocean” and closed the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, performing an array of his hits.
