MANILA, Philippines—“Beautiful World,” “Sweet Things,” “Elements of Life,” “I Will Be Here,” “Silence,” “Work Hard Play Hard” and “We Own the Night” — these are just some of the world smash hits created by Grammy nominee, legendary Dutch musician and record producer of Electronic Dance Music, and world-renowned professional DJ, Tiesto.
Tijs Michiel Verwest, more popularly known as Tiesto, began his DJ career by playing mostly New Beat and House Music in small clubs in his hometown in Breda, Netherlands.
Tiesto then rose to popularity in the early 2000s after his performance at the Live at Innercity: Amsterdam RAI party, and the release of his first solo album titled “In My Memory”. Since then, the Dutch musician has been making and producing award-winning EDM hits and albums, holding concert tours and parties all over the world, and receiving countless recognition for his music.
One of Tiesto’s most notable performances, on the other hand, was at the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, making him the very first DJ to play live on stage at an Olympic event. The legendary EDM record producer was also the very first DJ to rank No. 1 in the Top 100 DJs list by DJ Magazine for three consecutive years.
He also received the Best International DJ Award in 2008 at the DJ Awards, and earned other titles such as the No. 1 DJ of 2008 and the Best DJ of All Time, both given by Mixmag magazine; the 40th Greatest Dutch Citizen of All Time and Officer of the Order of Orange—Nassau by the Dutch Royalty in 2003; and International Dance4Life Ambassador in 2006.
Tiesto’s latest single “Take Me” featuring Kyler England is already a Top Five Beatport hit.
With a well-proven track record, there’s no doubt that Tiesto is one of the most sought-after EDM DJs in the world. In fact, in the Philippines alone, Tiesto has played his tracks in front of his fans — the country’s hottest clubbers, EDM enthusiasts and personalities in two of the biggest and hippest dance arenas last 2008 and 2009. On October 3, 2013, Tiesto will be coming back to Manila for his very first concert party at the Big Dome featuring the fastest-rising, most exciting female Australian DJ, Tigerlily as special guest.
The show is a World Wide Womb, Ovation Productions, Driven Manila and Republiq production.
