In 2013, Forbes magazine crowned Afrojack as #7 on ‘The World’s Highest Paid DJs List’ and this year The Hollywood Reporter called him ”a global icon” set ”to conquer the world.” A talented producer and artist, Afrojack is versatile and creative with his sound, whether creating club hits or producing and remixing for the likes of Beyonce, Pitbull or Madonna. Afrojack is adept at shifting between genres and playing with his sound and it’s easy to see why his skills are some of the most sought after in the world. In late 2013 Afrojack made history as he became the first DJ to ring the closing bell at NASDAQ Stock Market Exchange in New York, as electronic dance company, SFX, went public. This also came in the same week as Afrojack cemented his hands into the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the second DJ to ever do this and in doing so reinforced his position as a global music icon. On March 17 2015, Afrojack was featured in David Guetta’s single – Hey Mama in which he co-produced with Guetta. The song featured him along with Trinidadian born American singer and rapper Nicki Minaj, and Albanian-American singer Bebe Rexha. Afrojack recently announced a partnership with globally celebrated fashion label ‘G-Star Raw’ for his own line of Afrojack inspired designs that will be sold worldwide. He was also sought out by leading gaming company, Razer, to be a brand consultant on the development of future products. Afrojack has built a global brand that is recognized for influencing attitudes and championing new levels of change for the music world. It is clear from his exponential growth that there is no stopping him and at only 26 years old this is just the beginning.
The event will deliver the world’s best in technology, mind-blowing visuals and state of the art production in great synchronization. Music lovers can expect to witness an event at par with a global event. With a great mix of popular and underground music, this will be a festival for the true dance music fan, for whom music is a way of life.
