Dutch producer and DJ known for his collaborations with the likes of Chris Brown, French Montana, and David Guetta, Afrojack (born Nick van de Wall) has a spot in DJ Mag’s Top 10 DJs since 2010, when he released his first hit “Take Over Control” with Dutch singer Eva Simmons.
In 2007, he founded his own label, “Wall Recordings”, as a subdivision of Spinnin' Records, in a partnership that went on until 2016, when Wall split from Spinnin'. Once known for his electro, dirty-dutch style, Afrojack moved on to become one of the hottest mainstream and pop DJs of the decade, by releasing worldwide hits such as “Look at me Now”, with Chris Brown, and “Hey Mama”, with Nick Minaj, Bebe Rexha and David Guetta.
When far from the flashes and spotlights of the pop world, he occasionally releases under his moniker NLW, and highlights his electro roots when collaborating with other DJs like Hardwell, Martin Garrix and DubVision. His debut album, “Forget the World”, released in 2014, shows the versatility of his production skills, with calm tracks like “Mexico” and festival contenders like “Ten Feet Tall” and “Dynamite”.
As for his personal life, Nick plays piano since he was five, and began producing music at the age of eleven, after discovering music software for the first time. Three years later, he would be DJing at local pubs in Spijkenisse, where he lives, and earning additional income by designing websites for other musicians.
Later in life, the 6'10" DJ also went on in a relationship with supermodel Amanda Balk and they welcomed a daughter named Vegas. Following their split, he had a relationship with Paris Hilton. He’s also a fan of sports cars and crashed them multiple times.
