David Pierre

Guetta, better
known as just
David Guetta. He
was born on 7
November 1967,
in Paris, France; his
parents are Walid
Bouherras and
Marie Guetta. He is
a house music

producer,
songwriter and disc
jockey.
In the early 1980s,
when to be a DJ
was not a familiar
term with many
people, David
Guetta began
mixing his first

songs at home in
his basement when
he was 13 years
old then at 14 he
started organizing
parties there while
his parents went
out, he enjoyed it.
David Guetta's
career started at

the age of 17,


Guetta showed his
talent in a local club
called Broad, then
one day, he
travelled to UK in
1988 and there, he
discovered house
music while he was
working in a gay
club, then when he

returned he began
playing hip-hop and
house music in the
nightclubs of Paris.
From the very
beginning, when he
listened to house
music, he thought
that this new music
style will take the

world by storm and


he decided to
explore it and then
he imported the
new Acid House
sounds. His earliest
(how do you say),
experiments with
house music and
acid house were
not popular.

David met Cathy


Guetta who was
working as waitress
in a nightclub,
according to David,
he fell in love when
he saw her. In 1990
he married Cathy
Guetta, until now
they are together

and have two


children: Tim and
Angie.
He has 7 albums,
more than 5 awards
and he has sold
over more than 7.2
million of cds, really
it's a record.

2. ABOUT HIM
A) His earliest
songs:
As a big star of
house music, David
began from less to
more, when he was
13 years old, with
all his savings,
David bought a
simple turntable,

and so he began
mixing his first
songs at home, in
his basement then
at 14, he started
organizing parties
in his basement,
while his parents
went out, because
from the beginning,

they were against


of Davids choice.
At the age of 17, he
wanted better
things for him and
decided to show his
talent in a local
club, it is very
famous now, called
"Broad", in this
place he started

playing for all


people of his town.

B) The travel that


changed his life:
In the early 1980
David played his
music in clubs,

hidden from the


public when
suddenly in the
nights of Paris,
someone proposed
him to travel to the
UK and play in a
night club for a
week and so one
day he travelled to
the UK in 1988, and

there, he
discovered that
there was another
sort of music,
"House Music".
When he returned
to Paris he said that
the first time that he
heard this new style
of music, he said:
Wow, this music

will change the


world", and for this
reason, he decided
to explore it and so
he invented or
imported the new
Acid House
sounds, but his first
experiments with
House music and
Acid House sounds

were not really


popular.

C) More than a
couple:
In the nights of
Paris, David met
Cathy (she was
born in 1965,
Senegal) Cathy

was working as a
waitress in a
nightclub and there,
he fell in love when
he saw her the first
time.
In 1990, David (23
years old) and
Cathy (25 years
old), they decided

to get married, now


they are together
and have two
beautiful children:
Tim Elvis Eric (born
2004) and Angie
Guetta (born 2007).
David's wife is
responsible of
everything that has

to do with the public


relations of David,
each has a role.
David said in an
interview: Im in
charged about the
music, but my wife
is in charge of the
show

Nowadays Cathy is
a famous business
woman, she has
many restaurants
and nightclubs, her
husband count with
her for everything
and also she was in
two David's video
clips, "Sexy bitch"
and "The alpha

beat". Also she is a


fashion addict and
cosmetic too, she
has her own
perfume range
such as: "Ibiza" and
"Pink Power",
Both confessed in

occasion that

different but our
secret is that we
have a common
project. We wake

up together and we
build together"

3) CONCLUSIONS:

With a big smile


David Guetta has
become one of my
favorite Djs and
that I admire too,
despite his parents
never wanted him
to be a Dj, he
followed his dreams
and each day, he
improved his songs

Invested his own


money to buy cd's
of the music he had
heard in the travel
to UK, a travel
which gave a total
turn his life.
As a husband, and
father is a model to

me, because he is
married with the
same woman, more
than 20 years, not
like other
celebrities, who
change woman
every time
Although any
surveys say that he

is ubicated in the
number 4 of the
best Djs in the
world, I think that
he could be the
best, because, he
has experience,
quality and the
most important; he
is the person who
gave life to this

electronic music,
music that today is
madness
