Biography
DAVID GUETTA…
was born as Pierre David Guetta on November 7th,
1967 in Paris France. He was born into a family of
Moroccan Sephardi Jewish descent. His father was a
restaurateur. He started his musical passion early,
mixing his first vinyls when he was only 13 years
old. At 14 he was organizing parties in his
basement. At the age of 17 he quickly moved on to
DJing in popular nightclubs throughout Paris,
starting with a club called Broad with another DJ
named DJ Kien. While he was performing at Club
Broad, he started mixing his own music and
showcasing it during the evenings. In 1987 he heard
a Farley Jackmaster Funk track on the radio and it
inspired him. He recorded the track and brought a
copy of it with him to one of the clubs to play. This
was a breaking point in the popularity of the artist
David Guetta.
About one year later Guetta and Kien decided that Club Broad was too small to gain the attention that they
yearned, so they moved to larger venues which included Rex Club, Central World, and Wunderland Boy.
During this time, Guetta met with Robert Owens, a Chicago native legend in house music, while he was on
tour in France in 1992. Guetta shared some of his music with Owens, and Owens picked one and sang over it.
This song, “Up and Away” ended up being a minor hit in the house-music scene for the next several years. In
1992 he also met and married his wife Cathy Guetta. He spends a lot of his time working with his wife on
promoting the legendary “F**k Me I’m Famous” dance parties which started in 1995 and go on to this day.
These parties are now held all over the world in places like Miami, Las Vegas, New York, and Ibiza. For the
majority of the 90’s Guetta did not have anything significant happen in his music career other than hosting
parties at several nightclubs in France. He did become the artistic manager at a club called Le Palace.
Things started picking up for Guetta in 2001 when he released the track, “Just a Little More Love” with singer
Chris Willis. This track ended up being popular for several years throughout the house-music scene and
resulted in his first debut album also titled “Just a Little More Love” in 2002 on Virgin Records which sold
over 300,000 copies. During 2002 along with his first released album he co-founded GUM Productions Record
Label. In the meantime, Guetta released a bootleg remix of David Bowie’s song, “Heroes” and renamed his
version to “Just for One Day.” Shortly after he received permission from Bowie to release the track officially
and it shortly became a major hit. Now, having several major hits on his hands, Guetta finally released a
compilation in 2003 entitled, “F**k Me I’m Famous” named after his parties he threw in Ibiza.

With the success of this compilation he released a second
album in 2004 titled “Guetta Blaster” which contained
four singles and included some vocals by Chris Willis.
Willis would show up again with Guetta in 2007 when
Guetta released his third debut album titled “Pop Life.”
The album was a big hit throughout Europe and sold over
500,000 copies worldwide. This led him to winning the
World Music Award in 2007 for World’s Best Selling DJ.
During these years Cathy and David had their 2 children,
their son Tim Elvis Eric who was born in 2004 and their
daughter Angie born in 2007. In 2006 he was nominated
at the DJ Awards for Best House DJ but did not win this
year. However he did go on to win it in 2008, only to be
nominated again in 2009 for Best House DJ. In 2007 he
was nominated for Best International DJ and Best Ibiza
Night, both of which he won. In 2008 he was nominated
as Best French Act in the MTV EMA’s but lost to Zaho.

It wasn’t until 2009 that David Guetta became very
popular internationally. He made it to the 3rd spot
on the top 100 DJ’s in DJ Magazine. In August 2009
he released his fourth debut album titled “One
Love.” This album had several hit singles including
“When Love Takes Over” with Kelly Rowland,
“Gettin’ Over” with Chris Willis, “Sexy Bitch” with
Akon, and “Who’s That Chick?” featuring Rihanna
among others. The album sold over 3 million copies
by May 2011 and reached platinum record status.
Guetta won his first Grammy in 2009 in the category
of Best Remixed Recording, non-classical for the
track “When Love Takes Over.” Guetta won his
second Grammy the next year in 2010 after being
nominated for 4 different categories including; Best
Dance Record, Best Remixed Recording nonclassical, Best Dance Electronic Album, and Record
of the Year. His 2010 win was in the same category
as his first win but for the track “Revolver,” a remix
of Madonna’s song that he did with the DJ Afojack.

Beat Album:
http://www.rhapsody.com/
artist/davidguetta/album/nothing-butthe-beat-capitol-2
On August 30th, 2011 Guetta would release his 5th
studio album, “Nothing But the Beat.” This album
would feature 17 all-star cast including Akon, Nicki
Minaj, Flo Rida, Taio Cruz, Snoop Dogg, Timbaland,
Chris Brown, and others. Some versions of the
album even go back to the root of Guetta being a DJ
and even include a second disc that is electronic
music only. The album has already been awarded
platinum certification in Europe for selling over 1
million albums according to IFPI. If “One Love” sold
over 3 million copies in just two years, imagine how
many this album will sell if it has already broken 1
million sales in less than a year. Guetta had this to
say about the album, “I produced about 40 songs to
get these 13 records together. I wanted every song
to be huge, phenomenal.” According to the record
sells he has lived up to his hopes.
In 2010 at the World Music Awards David won 3 awards. He was nominated for and won World’s Best DJ, World’s
Best Producer, and Best Selling Artist from France. Also In 2010 he brought home the award for Best International
Album of the Year for his album “One Love” at the NRJ Music Awards. In 2011 he hit the number one spot on the top
one hundred for DJ Magazine. When being interviewed for the magazine he had this to say about his music, “I’ve had
amazing success as a producer but I always saw myself first of all as a DJ… As much as I want to speak to a wider
audience, I still want to speak to my original audience- the clubbers, party people and the DJ’s. Those who
encouraged me, and are my roots.” In 2011 at the International Dance Music Awards he won Best Commercial Dance
Track and Best Music Video for “Gettin’ Over You,” along with Best Producer. He was also again nominated at the
MTV EMA’s for Best Male.
David Guetta has successfully crossed the bridge in America and brought together dance style music and rap bringing
the Euro-pop sound to America. He has created a whole new sound that is at the top of the charts around the world.
During an interview with The Vine, David expressed his love for music, “for me it’s about the music; I don’t do drugs,
I don’t drink or smoke. I just do what I love to do which is making and playing music.” He also went on in a different
interview to say, “It doesn’t matter if I make a beat that’s going to be a song on the radio, or if I make a record that’s
meant to please DJ’s,” “I always just think of making people dance- that is my priority.” With over 5 million sales
worldwide since his first release in 2001, David Guetta has made a tremendous mark on the world’s music industry.
While still looking for a new and upcoming sound for his next album, he is still basking in the success of “Nothing But
the Beat,” performing around the world. Guetta stated that he would be working on more up and coming singles
with Akon and a new album that he is working on with Madonna. Needless to say Guetta has come a long way from
where he started and now he is at the top, doing what he loves, making and playing music.

TITANIUM- 4:05
COMPOSITION HISTORY
BY: Vanessa McCowan
Link to song: http://www.rhapsody.com/artist/david-guetta/album/nothing-but-the-beat-capitol-2/track/titanium-feat-sia
The song Titanium, written by David Guetta, Australian pop singer-songwriter, Sia Furler,
Giorgio Tulnfort and Afrojack was released on August 8, 2011. It was one of three promotional
songs used from David Guetta’s fifth studio album, Nothing but the Beats. The original version
of this song was sung by Mary J. Blige, however when Guetta heard Sia’s version he felt her
voice was “so incredible”, he wanted her to sing it. Katy Perry was offered to sing it however
she turned it down. Sia had wanted to give this song to someone else so she could focus more
on her song writing. Sia uses an acoustic element with Titanium, which isn’t the “norm” for
Guetta. The Lyrics are about Inner Strength. Titanium has been in the top ten positions in
several major music markets, Australia, France, Sweden just to name a few. It was number one
in the United Kingdom, making it David’s fifth number one single and Sia’s first.
TURN ME ON- 3:31
COMPOSTION HISTORY
BY: Mele Moli
Link to song: http://www.rhapsody.com/artist/david-guetta/album/nothing-but-the-beat-capitol/track/turn-me-on-feat-nicki-minaj
Just like David Guetta’s single Without You, Turn Me
On also derives from his fifth studio album named
Nothing but the Beat. The song was written by
David Guetta, Ester Dean, and Giorgio Tuinfort. The
vocals in this record though, were created by one of
the most popular female hip-hop and rap artist
Nicki Minaj. Nicki also uses this song in her second
studio album called Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded,
as a bonus song in its deluxe version. The song was
released in January of 2012. This song peaked at 4
on the Billboard Hot 100 which makes it tie with his
earlier single, Without You! Even though this song
wasn’t used in GLEE like Without You it was used to
promote WWE WrestleMania XXVIII which is just as
huge of a deal as the show GLEE. Wikipedia states
that Turn Me on is a “Up-tempo club song, with
heavy beats and features Minaj on vocals.” Nicki
Minaj’s Rap is amazing in this song and flows so
well that after hearing it at least twice you’ll have
most of it memorized! This song was such a great
creation and production in the world of music.
UP AND AWAY- 5:32
COMPOSITION HISTORY
BY: Mele Moli
Up & Away is one of David Guetta’s first successful
creations. In 1992, David Guetta was promoting his
music and having successful club nights. The genre
Daft Punk and Electroclash had the biggest
influence on his club music and the combinations of
the two genres are soaked in UP and Away. David
Guetta was given the opportunity in 1992 to
showcase his tracks for Robert Owens a successful
and now legendary house vocalist. The track that
Owen’s considered his favorite was given lyrics and
melody related to a girl that was using a boy to get
closer to his friend. Owen’s sang over the track. The
song was given the title UP and Away. In David
Guetta’s crate the song would wait. In 1994, Up &
Away was released in France and immediately
become a minor hit! Its genre was of course
Electronic with House style. Its label was Dance
Pool which is a division of Sony. The song is licensed
by R. Owens & XL Promotion. Up & Away is still a
well-known song to this day and has been remixed 7
times into different Electronic styles. It starts out
slow but gets you up to beat and in the mood for
electronic music.

0:00- The songs out with just lyrics and after a couple seconds a faint
bass noise is found and dragged out giving it a white noise type of feel.
You can tell that there is music in the background, but it is unchanging
after the initial noise of the beat and the texture of the noise is static-y
sounding. I think the lyrics are almost monophonic because it seems like
the singer is singing without music to harmonize with.
0:18- Repetitious low beats start at this point adding to the texture
because you can still hear the purposeful white noise in the background.
At this point in the song it seems like they are building up to something
just adding one piece after another. The singer is really giving the song
most of its range during the song still because they rhythm seem almost
background right now, but as I said are noticeable and seem as if they
are building up to something.
0:32- At this point in the song the lyrics turn into part of the rhythm or
beat as the last syllable of the last word is dragged out, and changed to a
higher pitch beat harmonizing with the singer’s voice. The higher pitch
adding in with the background type noise and the repetitious beat is the
counterpoint of lower beats. The texture feels to reach the climax of
what it was building up to, and the song is about to show us what great
thing the buildup was leading up to.
0:41- The higher pitch beat quickly turns into three beats descending
down into what the texture felt like it was leading up to. The tempo of
the song is very fast and the quick repetitious beat is still there acting as
the foundation of the song. The melody of the song starts bouncing
around and is the melody for a reason, it is catchy. The texture now
seems like an electronic type of funk. There are lyrics that are blended
into the beat and seem very robotic.
JUST A LITTLE MORE LOVE LISTENING GUIDE CONTINUED..
1:12- The same lyrics begin that started the song but
the beat is the same that started back around 41
seconds into the song. With the rhythm that needed
to be worked up to along with the lyrics now is the
high point of the song and harmonizes very will each
other.
1:45- The tempo is not changing at this point at
moving very fast but the beat seems to fade giving
that kind of feeling that the tempo slows down. The
singer is still moving very fast which shows that the
tempo doesn’t change. The great harmonization
found just previously is taken away from as they take
the main beat away from this part of the song. This
gives the overall song a great contrast. This point
wouldn’t be considered dissonance, but it seems like
the scale back on the beat they lead up to and lyrics
to give the texture of needing resolution.
2:13- The song is repeated to how it was around 32
seconds. The last word’s last syllable is dragged
exactly the same and turned into a higher pitch beat.
2:32- Now the song really changes and goes down to
just one beat. Shortly after you can hear almost
overtones faintly in the background of the original
beat. The main focus of the one beat is an interesting
noise and seems like something is moving around.
2:47- The main beat returns with electronic funk
texture and robotic lyrics played in with the beat.
3:00- Clear lyrics begin again repeating over and over
until the song completely changes and goes into a
soft beat with no lyrics. The rhythm is very simple
and has a calming texture.
3:25- The beat completely stops while the singer
sings the lyrics which happen to be the name of the
song. Shortly after the main beat picks up again and
continues to the end of the song where the end is
very abrupt, and there is silence for the last couple of
seconds of the song.
TITANIUM 4:05
LISTENING GUIDE
BY: Tim Simpson
0:00 Introduction contains the main theme. Main
theme comes in quickly. It is a simple quadruple
meter, conjunct, loud, moderate tempo and seems to
be a mix between a guitar and a piano. Electronically
augmented notes harmonize with the main theme.
This help make smooth transition into the first verse.
0:15 The Augment notes crescendo very loud and
stop witch starts the 1st verse. Beat 1 sounds on the
quarter note and drives the momentum of the song.
0:17 Sia's vocal melody is really pretty and comes in
quickly just like the song starts. Her voice is wet with
effects.
0:29 The Augment crescendo returns and stops. Beat
2 starts I can hear 16 notes and is very catchy.
0:42 Augment notes repeat fast, crescendo and stop
at the chorus 1. The form of the song is VerseChorus.
Link to song: http://www.rhapsody.com/artist/davidguetta/album/nothing-but-the-beat-capitol-2/track/titanium-feat-sia
0:45 Sia is harmonizing with new Augmented notes
that make me feel like there is a light mist in the air,
new melody from the piano/guitar electronic sound,
kick drum that plays sporadically and tapping sound
on a ride cymbal.
1:01 The tapping becomes a tight snare sound.
1:12 Snare sound crescendo into the last part of the
chorus……..
TITANIUM LISTENING GUIDE CONTINUED….
1:16 This portion of the chorus has a strong bass line from beat 3. Beat 3 is on every quarter note and
harmonizing with an electric sound that seems to make every bass beat fade away. The Electric sound has a
small intervals that are very subtle.
1:31 Verse 2 starts. There are different lyrics to the same music.
2:01 Chorus 2 begins with no change.
2:49 There's a cool sound that gives a quick finish to the 2nd chorus. She now sings a solo without any
harmonizing.
3:01 The solo vocal melody does a round melody with the augmented notes.
3:05 There new sound that reminds of chordal harmony with vocal melody. This is the
last part of the song with is another repeat of the chorus.
3:35 Sia sings "I'm' am titanium.." four times in this chorus making it
longer.
3:50 Then once more at the very end finalizing the song.
TURN ME ON
LISTENING GUIDE- 3:31
BY: Spencer Clemens
Link to song: http://www.rhapsody.com/artist/david-guetta/album/nothing-but-the-beat-capitol/track/turn-me-on-feat-nicki-minaj
0:00- The introduction starts out quick and ends quickly. The song has a quadruple meter with simple division
and is simple to tell with the beat on the first count being emphasized. The tempo of the song is very fast, but
isn’t filled with much music throughout the introductory. The music is synthesized and all electronically done.
The introduction has a few simple beats before the first verse begins, and is in a major scale.
0:15- First Verse, this song features Nicki Minaj as the singer. The song is homophonic in nature, and Nicki
Minaj brings a really good texture to the song that compliments and accompanies the song well. I say the song
has a really good texture because usually popular songs music will accompany the singer, but with this song
both the music and singer accompany the other. The song is produced to where it could be just good house
music without lyrics. Also, Nicki Minaj brings great lyrics and voice to the table that accompanies the song, but
the lyrics are good enough to have it be its own. The timbre of the song is something that is not natural
however, because the singer’s voice is enhanced electronically using auto tune. For the first 15 seconds of the
verse the rhythm of the song doesn’t change much.
0:30- The beat starts to bounce around as Minaj gradually gets a higher pitch, and then drops back down to
gradually build up to a higher pitch.
0:45- Chorus begins the song seems to slow down as Minaj holds a note until the chorus. Because of the use of
the synthesizer and auto tune the first verse has a moderate range.
0:53- The chorus does a really good job of catching the listener with catchy lyrics and rhythm. The rhythm
seems to “pump” and makes it easy to follow along with, and get stuck in your mind. The chorus harmonizes
well between the music and the lyrics. The harmony is consonance throughout the chorus as well as the whole
song which gives it a nice flow without requiring a resolution. Again because of the song involving a lot of
synthesizing the timbre does not have a lot of overtones as described in our class’ e-text. Even though this
portion of timbre is not present it does not take away from the song; in fact, it gives the song its uniqueness.
TURN ME ON LISTENING GUIDE CONTINUED..
1:24- As the second verse begins the rhythm goes back to being somewhat basic and does not change as much.
The beat does give a couple contrasting beats that bounce around towards the end of every other measure.
The beat alone has a small range. This gives the music a good repetition to contrast ratio that the listener can
hold on to, but still be “stimulated” by the contrast. The repetition also requires the Nicki Minaj to add a lot of
contrast to it, which she does.
2:02- Is repeated as the same as the first time the chorus is sung.
2:32- The Bridge in my opinion is the best part of the song. I especially like the rhythm because it seems to be
so simple. The beat seems to softly echo the lyrics as notes are held by Minaj. The bridge unfortunately does
not last very long and even though the tempo slows way down for this portion of the song it still flies by.
2:47- Because of the bridge being the best part of the song it must be the reason why the start of the third
verse is the worst part of the song. During the third verse is really the only time in the song where there is
dissonance and needs resolution. This opinion may be bias because I do not like this part of the song, but the
harmony is terrible as the third verse begins. The beat is a simple low bass beat as Nicki Minaj attempts to give
the third verse range and dips low in pitch stuttering all over the place, of course of purpose.
2:58- The resolution is as Minaj brings the pitch back to normal right before the chorus begins. The tempo does
pick back up in the third verse where the bridge had slowed down the tempo.
3:02- I classify the ending as the chorus because it is the same rhythm and lyrics as the chorus are song earlier.
It is however, half the length as it normally is throughout the song so it could be classified as something
different.
UP AND AWAY
LISTENING GUIDE- 5:32
BY: Tim Simpson
00:00- Starts with clapping and short tuba sounding
melody, it’s kind of silly. Beat 1 sounds like low
frequency piano sound, clapping and every 8 beats is
a crash of the high hat.
00:18- Beat 1 starts. Beat 1 sound like a drummer
tapping a rudiment pattern on a open high hat very
softly. This make you feel like the songs going to get
fast.
00:25- There is a crash and beat 2 is now being
played louder with a different metallic sound.
00:40- Beat 3 starts and the clapping is removed at
the same time. It slows the whole feeling of the
song. Vocals decide to come in now.
00:55- Light solo cymbal crash then Beat 3 connects
to Be at 2 seems to have the offbeat emphasized.
Then a Augmented notes vibrate like an organ hold
steady as Robert Owen's vocal melody harmonizes
with beat 2 making a sad emotional texture. The
tempo never changes. and the tempo picks up
slightly. Clapping and beats carry the music to its
next destination. The vocal melody is really pretty
here.
01:23- Beat 2 ret mixed with beat 4. Beat 4 is not
metallic, it's low in frequency with short attack and
release with each note. Beat 4 give great contrast
and your attention comes back to the music. There is
one vocal melody doing round melody technique and
one continues the previous melody. Both voices are
Robert’s voice.
01:40- Beat 4 is faded away. One voice is singing
again.
02:15- Beat 4 comes crescendo in very lightly.
02:33- Beat 4 is removed again.
02:39- Complete silence
02:40- Cymbal crash brings back the music. Which is,
Beat 4, Beat 3, clapping, augmented organ like notes
but not the vocal melody.
03:03- Cymbal crashes and beat 3 is removed quickly
like a razor sliced it from the rest of the song but
we'll wait and see. Beat 3 is quite important to this
song and we still have 2:34 seconds left. There’s a
electronic sound sounds like whistle, that seems to
follow beat 4 but is still separate from beat 4.
UP AND AWAY LISTENING GUIDE CONTINUED….
03:13- Cymbal crashes and Beat 4 is removed. But the vocal melody returns. I'm not pleased. I would rather
have the beats then listen to vocal melody. But, I'm in a happy mood listening to broken hearted song in a
genre that thrives on happy moods.
03:15- Beat 3 is back and the augmented notes are now less augmented but more of quick repeating melody, it
very trance like. This melody is really fun, subtle and screams house music. twelve seconds.
03:20- Beat 4 is back.
03:26- 2 voices that are harmonizing. one is melody with polyphonic singing “up & away” and another voice
that is humming or sing just syllables.
03:39- There is a nice break from the vocals and it just instrumentation music.
03:58- The vocal melody comes back.
04:12- Vocal harmony with three voices all Robert Owen's voice just doing a different melody. one is doing sing
a conjunct melody, one is imitating and 3rd is doing a round melody sing "up, up and away".
04:42- The vocal are louder and lyrics are new in this part of the song. The once augment low frequency is now
its own melody and very important to climax of this song. As this melody continues there are variations to it.
05:12- The song continues to at the same tempo it started with. The low frequency piano notes playing a really
fun melody, clapping is hold steady, beat 3 and 4 are almost one beat.
05:32- The song end suddenly.
