John Christian
John Christian is a talented DJ, producer and multi-instrumentalist from
the Netherlands. He has built a name for himself over the past 15 years
within both the Electronic Dance Music scene and further afield, thanks
to his stellar productions, which have been played and performed by some
of the biggest names in the music industry. The past 12 months have seen
him flourish as a recording artist in his own right as well.
As a student at the Dutch Academy of Music, he honed his production and
musical skills fast. In the early days of his career, his first top 40
smash quickly led to a string of production engagements with the crème
de la crème of both national and international music talent. He
currently has over 2000 releases under his belt including over 400
single hit records and
despite his young age enjoys a reputation as one of the most successful
producers in Dutch music history. John also played a big part of Nicky
Romero’s career as Nicky settled down in one of John’s studio’s to
produce his unimaginable chain of smashing hits. Also Romero’s
collaborations with international stars like David Guetta, Rihanna,
Calvin Harris and Usher have taken place in that studio. At the end it
was Nicky who encouraged John to start his own career.
John made the decision to forge his own career with the release of
quality productions and remixes, all of which made their mark on the
Electronic Dance Music scene and Beatport chart to boot – a decision
that has seen his success gather momentum rapidly. Not only did
heavyweights Avicii and Nicky Romero ask him to remix their track, ‘I
could be the one’, but it also went straight into both the Beatport
and Progressive House top 100 chart as well as getting over 6 million
plays on SoundCloud – no mean feat for an artist that has only recently
starting focusing on his own productions. His musical prowess has also
recently caught the eye of Afrojack who has let the Dutch maestro loose
on ‘The Spark’, which has resulted in
a class remix from John Christian.
