Hi David, let’s talk about Europe.
The first big name DJ I ever saw at a club after moving to Miami was David Guetta with his F*** Me I’m Famous party during Art Basel at Mansion. I’ve always loved a good party, but this was a totally new experience. From the light show to the confetti to the glow sticks and the robot men, not to mention the beats you can’t stop dancing to, I’ve been a big fan ever since. While he’s had a slew of commercial hits since his 2009 album “One Love,” he also knows how to throw down when it comes to spinning live at a club. I’ve caught him a handful of other times, and finally saw him at Ultra Music Festival last year.
Last Friday, I had the opportunity to interview him at Paraiso Bay condominium in Edgewater. They break ground this summer and open in 2016. One of the units in the impressive development will be the Miami home of David Guetta. We talked about why he chose to purchase real estate in Miami, what records he plans to debut at Ultra in March and how he changed the sound of American pop music.

As I was preparing my interview, I remembered that we’d actually partied together at Swedish House Mafia’s retirement party at The Dutch last year, so you know, it was about time we had a formal introduction. David was incredibly nice, enthusiastic about music and had an adorable French accent. Stay tuned for the full interview on Miami.com.
