The world’s best DJ
Tijs Verwest, 39, better known as Tiesto, is arguably the world’s greatest living DJ, and certainly one of the world’s most famous trance DJs.
A native of the Netherlands, he’s the only DJ who has been voted the World’s Number One DJ three years in a row from 2002 to 2004 by the world’s top electronic dance music magazine, DJ Magazine.
He’s still active now, and still perennially in the annual top 10 list. For the 2007 list, he placed second behind Armin Van Buuren.
Although he has not clinched the top spot for several years, he’s still regarded by many as the greatest DJ in the world.
One of his biggest achievements is being the first DJ to play live at an Olympic Games. That happened at the 2004 Athens Olympiad opening ceremony.
Perhaps the only thing missing is a Grammy, for which his album Elements of Life was nominated in the “Best Electronic/Dance Album” category at the 50th Grammys held in February 2008, but lost to The Chemical Brothers’ We Are The Night.
