Tijs Verwest, alias DJ Tiësto, was born on the 17th of January 1969 in Breda (Holland).
He started spinning records when he was 14 years old. At the age of 15, he made mixtapes
with the best tunes of the month, and gave them to friends and clothing stores. A year later he
had bought his own mobile and played at small student parties. The next step was a Dutch club
called 'De Lente'. There, Tiësto entertained the crowd with disco, hip hop and early housemusic.

When he was 21 years old, he started playing in 'The Spock', where only housemusic was
played every thursday-, friday- and saturdaynight, and at the age of 22 he also mixed for
'Channel X', an illegal radio station that broadcasted house music 24 hours a day and that was
very popular especially in Holland and Belgium. Tiësto also played in a famous afterclub
in Amsterdam that year, called the 'Voodoo Club'.

Before his 24th birthday, he had only played club music, but the years following to it,
Tijs Verwest also played and produced hardcore-music which was very popular in Club X.
In his free time he went to famous Belgium clubs to listen what the sound was over there.
It was in these clubs that he first discovered the great magik of trance music.
He started to experiment with these new sounds in 'The Spock',
and soon he was discovered by Arny Bink, the labelmanager of Basic Beat Recordings,
Rotterdam. Together they compiled the cd "Forbidden Paradise 3 - The Quest For Atlantis".
This was the first Basic Beat compilation to hit the 8.000 sales point, and it's still selling as you read.

In that same period Tiësto started to assemble his own studio and began to make his own tunes
and records. What started out as a small project has now awarded him with several massive club hits,
who are played all over the world.

Now he's 33 years old and he has sold hundred thousands of copies of his mixed albums
all over the world. He has also played in almost every big club in Holland, big parties like
Lunapark, Digital Overdose, Megarave, Innercity, Sensation and Dance Valley, and also abroad,
in the U.K. (The End, Gatecrasher, Godskitchen, Passion), Hungary (Flørt), Belgium
(La Rocca, Illusion), Luxemburg, Germany, Malasia, US, Canada, Australia and even Japan.

In 1997 Tijs Verwest started his own record label, Black Hole Recordings, which will provide
the sound Tiësto plays nowadays. The first mix compilation Magik has hit the streets
November 1997, and is expected to set new standards. Also a Magik EP was released early 1998.
Nowadays 2002, Black Hole Recordings is one of the most upcoming progressive labels,
with artists such as DJ Tiësto himself, DJ Dazzle, DJ Montana, DJ Cor Fijneman, Fred Numf,
DJ Debra and Jaimy & Kenny D. The compilations of the Magik, In Search Of Sunrise, Freedom,
In Trance We Trust, ArtistProfileSeries and WildLife-series are famous around the globe.
With more then ten sublabels, Black Hole expands more and more. New mixcompilations
and vinyl releases are scheduled for the future...

In 2001, DJ Tiësto take care for the 6th place in the World DJ Top 100 of U.K.'s "DJ Magazine".
Months later, he got the famous Dutch 'Silver Harp Award'. With this award, Tiësto becomes the
most famous Dutch DJ ever. In 2002 he has been nominated for the DanceStar USA Award,
but didn't succeed. In April 2002 he won the Dutch TMF Award for "Best DJ".
One month later he won the famous Dutch Lucky Strike Dance Award 2002,
for best trance/progressive DJ. In July he won the Dancestar UK award in London.
On September the 17th Tiësto won the Ibiza DJ Award category progressive/trance.

2002 Was already a very good year for Tiësto, but things went even better on the last day of Oktober.
That night Tiësto was made the number one DJ of the world, according to the DJ Top 100 of the
UK-based DJ Magazine. He's the first Dutch DJ to win this worldwide respected award.
DJ Tiësto himself was very happy with this: 'My biggest dream come true!'.
