Born on November 7, 1967, in Paris, France, Guetta began his career as a DJ in local clubs during the late 1980s, where he quickly developed a reputation for his energetic sets and ability to seamlessly blend genres. His early experience in the French club scene laid the foundation for his distinctive style, which combines elements of house, electro, and pop.

Guetta's rise to international fame began in the mid-2000s with the release of his album "Pop Life," which featured the hit single "Love Is Gone." His breakthrough continued with his 2009 album "One Love," which included global hits such as "When Love Takes Over" featuring Kelly Rowland, "Sexy Bitch" featuring Akon, and "Memories" featuring Kid Cudi. These tracks not only dominated the charts but also established Guetta as a pioneer of the EDM-pop crossover, making dance music accessible to mainstream audiences.

Over the years, Guetta has collaborated with some of the biggest names in the music industry, including Sia, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber, and Usher. His ability to bring together artists from various genres has been a defining characteristic of his career, resulting in numerous chart-topping singles and platinum-certified albums. His song "Titanium" with Sia became one of his most iconic hits, celebrated for its powerful vocals and uplifting message.
