Tiësto is a name that no longer needs an introduction. He is synonymous with the best of electronic music, and continues to inspire a generation of up-and-coming young artists.

In addition to two Grammy nominations and a Grammy win in 2015, Tiësto has been named the #1 DJ by Rolling Stone, voted “The Greatest DJ of All Time” by Mixmag, ranked the #1 DJ in the world three times by DJ Mag, and was recently awarded the Edison Pop Oeuvre Lifetime Achievement Award (an honor he shares with David Bowie, Quincy Jones and U2 among others).

After conquering the house and trance worlds, the superstar producer led the charge in helping electronic music crossover into the mainstream with his last album, A Town Called Paradise in 2014. His single “Red Lights” is now certified gold in the US, Sweden and Canada, while “Wasted” with Matthew Koma recently went platinum in the US and is his highest-charting release to date. Clearly a taste of what was to come, Tiësto has recently dropped new tunes with the The Chainsmokers, Martin Garrix, and pop sensation Natalie La Rose.

Collaborations are nothing new for Tiësto, who believes in passing along his success by working with well-known names like Martin Garrix and Oliver Heldens, to name a few. For years now, he has helped up-and-coming acts in the electronic world find their way with his record label, Musical Freedom. Aside from his label, he also took part in 7Up’s DJing competition “Your Shot,” a competition for aspiring DJ’s to learn the craft and perform alongside Tiësto in Las Vegas.

At this point in his career, Tiësto has toured the world countless times, performing for millions at Ultra, Coachella, Tomorrowland, TomorrowWorld and Electric Daisy Carnival, in addition to the innumerable clubs that he headlines. He’s one of the few DJs in the world to hold a residency in Las Vegas, where he plays at Hakkasan and Wet Republic.

In spite of his hectic tour schedule, residency, and focus on creating new music, Tiësto hasn’t forgotten his roots. As a champion of the DJ mix for decades, his Club Life compilations have become a staple in the dance world as has his Sirius XM channel of the same name. In addition, his weekly radio show is broadcast on 350 stations in 77 countries and has over 35 million listeners.

Tiësto also remains an expert remixer to the biggest names in music, reworking smash hits for the likes of Beyoncé, Coldplay, Kanye West, Sam Smith, Ellie Goulding, David Guetta, Major Lazer, Calvin Harris, and many more. In 2015, he won his first Grammy Award for his massively popular remix of John Legend’s “All Of Me.”

Tiësto has successfully transitioned his influence and savvy to industries beyond music, acting as an advisor to tech startups like Splice, Dubset and Doppler. Most recently, Tiësto released his newly re-designed mobile app, where fans can consume all things Tiësto. Through current collaborations with T-Mobile and Budweiser and soon-to-be-revealed efforts in the fashion space, the DJ is bringing dance music culture to more people than ever before.

Throughout the past two decades, Tiësto has remained not only one of the world’s most prolific and enduring artists, but one of music’s top innovators. In spite of his accomplishments, Tiësto does not see his work as being done. “DJing is my life,” the man isn’t afraid to admit. But more than that, “It’s a lifestyle.”

UniGroove is the understanding of different musical elements that are being manipulated to contour with each other.... 

For all you deep electronica/jamband heads out there...if you like to get down with some nasty dirty fun melodic groove then Starving Jesus is your muse. 

Just open up your soul and let the rhythm take control. Keep your arms out and your mind in wonder, close your eyes until things become darker. Don't be afraid to lose yourself in the music of Starving Jesus, even though it's quite different keep ears in tune and fly away on my galactic air balloon. 

Simplicity and complexity are the main functions in UniGroove. The meaning of Unigroove simply means “universal dance” which can be broken down into many elements of music. Unigroove never integrates one specific genre of music; in fact, UniGroove incorporates many styles of music. From Funk to Jazz, Classical, and Trance, UniGroove makes it all. The music of UniGroove always changes. When it comes to live shows, the music of Unigroove usually has two main parts of a song, the structured sequenced form and a improvised form, which means, Unigroove tends to drift off from the original structure of the song, making it exciting and boggling for listeners. Unigrooves improvisations are solely made for listeners to get down to the rhythmic melodic groove and dance your ass off! Although Unigroove is sequenced in music software, the music of Unigroove can be formatted to play with live musicians. 

What does Starving Jesus mean? 

One of my deepest inspirations is Syd Baret. His influences motivated my mind to think in fashion, were using your creativity endlessly and being open-minded to any genre you will find the "melodic path." Because of his different creative taste to towards music, I think of him as a “jesus,” guiding me through an endless musical journey. The word "starving" describes the rules to be coming a musician. Artists are often unnoticed in the musical kingdom. If an artist creativeness isn’t nurtured and maintained, it can eventually go hungry. Thus I became Starving Jesus. 

Fat beats straight from the streets.
