10. David Guetta

David Guetta started out as a house music DJ, hosting his own club nights in the late 80’s. He started collaborating with singers to create music that was considered part of the electro genre but that included vocals. In 2001 he founded Gum Productions and released his first single, “Nation Rap” a hip-hop collaboration with French rapper Sydney Duteil. His debut album Just A Little More Love was released in 2002 by Virgin Records.

It wasn’t until his fourth album that Guetta found international success through collaborations with Kelly Rowland, Akon, and Kid Cudi. He continued to produce music and lend his talent to other acts, helping them create extremely successful songs, like The Black Eyed Peas’ hit single “I Gotta Feeling”. As a DJ, Guetta has always been part-producer, but he also tours the world solo, headlining plenty of his own shows.
