The stars must've been aligned just right when Nick van de Wall (better known as Afrojack) saw his first ray of light. Music was his first love since his early youth. He started playing the piano when he was only five. Being a very creative student, Afrojack spent most of his time listening to all kinds of music while studying. It was no surprise that it didn't take him long to turn the tables and start making music instead of just listening to it.

 

In 2006 he sets off to Crete (Greece) Djing for five full months straight in every club that would have him, learning the craft and making his first 'flight hours'. 

In 2007 Nick starts performing under the name Afrojack, determined to try to make it to the top as a DJ and producer. In 2008 he hits the clubs with 'Math' and 'Do My Dance' and both tracks get picked up by every big name in the industry. Afrojack starts appearing at many important festivals, like Mystery Land, Tomorrowland (Belgium), Extrema Outdoor and Sensation. The world heard more and more from Afrojack in 2009 and it didn't take a long time for David Guetta to notice Afrojack's talent. 

Afrojack's rise to fame as a producer has brought him a roll call of A-list champions - from Pete Tong to David Guetta, and Josh Wink to Fedde Le Grand, along the way collaborating with some of the world's most respected producers and artists like David Guetta, Steve Aoki, Diplo, Kid Cudi, Pitbull and Black Eyed Peas.

 

Afrojack was rewarded with the respectable Grammy award for the remix of Madonna's 'Revolver' in collaboration with David Guetta. Respected by his colleague DJ's for his production skills and loved by clubbers for his dancefloor bombs and energetic performances, Afrojack is setting new standards in the industry!
