Artist:David Guetta f/Sia
Song:Titanium
Album:Nothing but the Beat: Special Edition
French DJ David Guetta is a songwriter and producer who has been very successful bringing in guest singers like Sia Furler for the 2011 single Titanium. It's one of his biggest hits. He's recorded a lot of music. But he sold his catalog in 2021 and seems to be slowing down a bit. It's not like he needs the money. He was born Nov. 7, 1967 in Paris. He started out as a DJ in the Broad Club in Paris in 1984. He got into house music in 1987 and released Nation Rap with rapper Sidney Duteil. He continued to DJ at local clubs and released the 1994 single Up & Away featuring Fingers Inc. singer Robert Owens. He formed Gum Productions in 2001 with DJ Joachim Garraud and they released the single Just a Little More Love featuring gospel singer Chris Willis who was on vacation in France when he met Guetta. The single did well enough to get Guetta a record deal with Virgin Records and his 2002 debut album Just a Little More Love. Guetta was in demand to do remixes of David Bowie's Heroes among other things. But things picked up for Guetta with the 2009 album One Love and the single When Love Takes Over featuring Kelly Rowland. This topped the British Singles chart. Then the single Sexy Bitch featuring Akon reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100. So now Guetta is really in demand. He produced the 2009 Black Eyed Peas single I Gotta Feeling which topped the charts and won Grammys. And that led to the 2011 album Nothing but the Beat. He scored three top ten hits from that album. Titanium featuring Sia Furler was probably the biggest hit as it topped the British Singles chart and reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album is his biggest seller to date and it's available in a 3CD deluxe edition at a budget price. Since then things have slowed down for Guetta. He's recorded two albums and a few of his singles have charted. In 2021, Guetta sold his back catalog to Warner Music for $100M. He still records singles occasionally and produces and does remixes. But it seems like he's winding down his career. He's made his money. Maybe it's time to relax. Here's the video for Titanium by David Guetta featuring Sia. Yes, that is Rob Lowe as a cop. And the boy is played by British actor Ryan Lee.
