Artist Biography
FEDDE LE GRAND was born in Utrecht on the 7th of September 1977 and he
always had a real passion for music. As a teenager he started to spin
records on the side. After finishing secondary school Fedde Le Grand's DJ
adventure began when he started to perform at the Danssalon in Eindhoven,
one of The Netherlands' finest clubs at that time. Since 1998, Fedde Le
Grand has rocked every high-quality-club in The Netherlands and his tunes
are considered to be the most energetic and danceable around.

Fedde Le Grand does not only know how to play his records, he sure knows
how to organize a thumping party as well. Being one of the innovators of
the concept SNEAKERZ (2004) he created a formula; different venues with
three areas throughout the Netherlands, all with their own sound, and a
chance given to upcoming talent performing together with famous DJs.
Sneakerz started off at "De Rechter" in Eindhoven and it has grown into one
of the best clubbing nights all over the Netherlands ("Panama" Amsterdam,
"T Paard van Troje" The Hague, Sneakerz@the Beach in Scheveningen and
Bloomingdale).

Besides DJ'ing and organizing club nights, Fedde Le Grand has been
producing since 2001. In 2004 this multiple talent teamed up with FUNKERMAN
and Raf. They started FLAMINGO RECORDINGS, an independent record label
where they have found a way to release their tracks without any
compromises. This label has made them able to release tracks as fresh as
they can be, with a new & always improving sound, appealing to a large
group of people, without losing its underground identity. In a short period
of time they have established themselves in the international label scene
with releases licensed to partners such as Defected, Ministry of Sound and
CR2 Records.

With the release of "Put your hands up for Detroit" Fedde Le Grand became
known to the world. Eminem's Detroit based hip-hop crew D12 has created a
wicked vocal version over "Put your hands up for Detroit" released early
2007. Not only well-known artists from the United States but various famous
artists all over the world could find this man. Fedde created several
remixes for Sharam, Freeform Five, Roog & Greg, Kurd Maverick, Tall Paul,
Pete Tong, Camille Jones, Ida Corr, Anita Kelsey and Robbie Williams.
Furthermore, Fedde made three compilation albums; The Ministry of Sound
album "Sessions" released in the beginning of 2007 and "Top of the Clubs
volume 33", released on Kontor Records in 2006. His first compilation album
"Sneakerz" was mixed and compiled together with Gregor Salto in May 2006.

At the end of the summer 2006 "Put your hands up for Detroit" won the award
'No.1 summer anthem of Ibiza'. He reached the number one position in the
official UK singles chart later in November. Other countries followed up
quick and Fedde Le Grand got more and more requests from all over the
world. March 2007, his first international tour through Indonesia,
Australia/New Zealand and Miami was a fact. At the Winter Music Conference
in Miami - where this tour ended - Fedde took home three International
Dance Music Awards; Best Breakthrough Solo Artist, Best Breaks/Electro
Sound, and Best Underground House Track. He also won two Danish Deejay
Awards and the Australian MTV Award.

"Put your hands up for Detroit" is not the only tune which has done great.
His follow up "The Creeps" a remix of Camille Jones reached the top 10 of
the official UK singles charts. His production "Take No Shhh.." was a major
hit within the dance scene together with "Just Trippin" and there is more
to come. His F to the F project (with his partner Funkerman) "Wheels in
Motion" is currently making its way into Europe. Fedde's latest remix of
Ida Corr "Let me think about it" is a funky impression of the original
R&B/Funk/Soul sounding track, while Funkerman treats us with a pure House
makeover of the track and they both have turned this beauty in one of the
more potential crossover track of this time.

In May 2007 Fedde Le Grand does a second tour through the United States and
Canada to close his tour in China. Moreover, his first Artist Album will be
released this year. During the summer of 2007 you can find him at the
finest festivals in the UK and Ibiza.

Fedde Le Grand is the most requested DJ of the world at this moment... So,
if you are a music freak we advise you to keep an eye on this self-made man
because he will keep you going and making you coming back for more!
