It has undoubtedly been astounding to witness Martin Garrix’s rise to stardom. At such a very young age, the Amstelveen native has already gained a gargantuan amount of success as a producer, DJ, and as an artist overall. He has garnered a strong following across the globe as well, particularly after his breakthrough hit “Animals”, and has received numerous awards throughout his early career, including an MTV’s Europe Music Award for Best Electronic Act.

Despite all of his prestigious accolades, Garrix has remained humble and has continued to work hard in providing high-quality music for his fans. Especially with the unreleased tracks from his upcoming album, Garrix’s musical prowess has undeniably reached a first-rate level, placing him at the top of the food chain.

Highlighting his incredible journey so far, MTV’s ‘The Ride’ recently aired an episode on Martin Garrix’s career and life outside of producing and performing.
