Martin Garrix’s Career
What’s Martin Garrix’s profession? Martin Garrix began his career as an Electronic Dance Music (EDM) celebrity at the age of 14 when he worked as a disc jockey at a high school dance. He published his debut singles, ‘BFAM’ (with Julian Jordan) and ‘Just Some Loops,’ after meeting Tisto and having him as a mentor (with TV Noise). His debut single, ‘Error 404’ (with Jay Hardway), was published in 2012 by ‘Spinnin’ Records.
The next year, Tisto released ‘Torrent’ (with Sidney Samson) on his own label, Musical Freedom. ‘Animals,’ his first massive hit, was published as a digital download on June 16, 2013, and it was also his first solo work. The song topped several charts in Europe. It also helped Garrix become the youngest person in history to have a song chart at No. 1 on the electronic music reseller ‘Beatport.’
‘Wizard,’ his second collaboration with Hardway, was released on December 2, 2013. Later, the song was used in the 2014 film “Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb.” ‘Helicopter,’ a collaboration between Garrix and Firebeatz, topped the Beatport chart for two weeks. In early 2014, he headlined the ‘Ultra Music Festival’ for the first time. On February 6, 2015, he released his debut progressive house single, ‘Forbidden Voices,’ a departure from his usual large room approach. He teamed with Usher on the single “Don’t Look Down” the same month. He performed “Rewind Repeat It” with Ed Sheeran at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami in 2015.
His resignation from ‘Spinnin’ Records in mid-2015 was due to a disagreement over music ownership. He formed the label ‘STMPD RCRDS’ in early 2016, and with it, he released his new track ‘Now That I’ve Found You.’ His promotional single ‘Opps,’ which was released on June 13, 2016, was picked as the 2016 Electronic Entertainment Expo anthem. On July 26, 2016, he agreed to terms with ‘Sony Music.’
Garrix and singer Troye Sivan performed their collaborative single ‘There For You’ at the 2017 Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival in California. He will play alongside Justin Bieber at the ‘Barclaycard presents British Summer Time Hyde Park’ concert in July 2017. He has also appeared as a musical guest on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,’ the first in 2016 and the second in 2017.
