about

Martijn Gerard Garritsen, born on May 14, 1996, is a Dutch musician and producer from Amstelveen. He was named the DJ Mag top DJ worldwide for 2016, 2017, 2018, 2022 and 2024. He has also had several high-profile artists' residencies, including at Hï Ibiza and OMNIA Nightclub. In 2012, Garritsen signed a professional contract with Spinnin' Records until terminating his contract in 2015 and cutting ties with his management, MusicalAllStars on August 25, 2015. In a subsequent lawsuit against the record company, Garritsen won back his rights to his songs released under the label between 2012 and 2015, winning his case in a 2017 court ruling. Earlier in 2016, Martijn created his label imprint 'STMPD RCRDS', which was a tribute to his father's role in the stamp business. On July 26, 2016, Garritsen signed a 'worldwide' contract with Sony Music International. Explaining that, "their forward thinking approach to streaming and incredible roster of talented artists combined with their passion and understanding for my vision of the future of my music made this a no brainer." In recent years, Garrix has continued to evolve as an artist, experimenting with new sounds and collaborations. In 2023, he released his debut artist album Sentio, which marked a shift toward a more melodic and introspective style while retaining his signature high-energy drops. The album was well-received, further solidifying his versatility. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA
