Martin Garrix Net Worth $14 Million
Raised in Amstelveen, Martin was very much interested in music as a child, and learnt to play guitar and piano before becoming inspired by electro music by another famous DJ, Tiesto. His enthusiasm in DJ-ing led him to buy his own DJ set, and mix at his own home. He then began playing at birthday parties and social events. A music lover, Martin found his way through the night clubs of Netherlands and took his passion to the next level of success as he started winning in different local DJ competitions. It was in 2012 that Martin was approached and signed by Spinnin’ Records, and released his album “Error 404”. Martin then graduated from Herman Brood Academy, a production school, in 2014.
He became a worldwide sensation in 2013, as his chart-topping single “Animal” which went on to dominate night clubs and discos all over the world – Martin is one of the youngest artists to become this popular with his own composition. In this narrow span of time, Martin has managed to create many other chart-topping singles which include “Animals”, “Wizards”, “Proxy”, “Tremor” and many more. This Dutch DJ and producer has played at major American music festivals like “Coachella” among others. Needless to say, all of these projects have contributed vastly to Martin’s current net worth.
