Journey
Afrojack is the stage name of Nick Leonardus van de Wall, born in Spijkenisse, South Holland, Netherlands. He is a Dutch DJ, record producer, and songwriter who became one of the defining figures of the global electronic dance music boom of the late 2000s and 2010s. He developed an interest in music production as a teenager, teaching himself sequencing and studio techniques while performing in local clubs and bars. Signed to STMPD Records, he has sustained a prominent presence in the global dance music space across more than a decade of releases and performances.
Afrojack's discography includes the release "Underwater," a title that reflects his ongoing engagement with melodic, club-oriented production. His work has extended into collaborative territory with fellow electronic act DubVision, demonstrating a consistent connection to the wider house and progressive house community. The STMPD label, with which he remains affiliated, has provided a platform for his output as both a solo artist and a collaborative one. His productions span the commercial energy of dance pop and the deeper, beat-driven architecture of progressive house, giving his catalog a range that speaks to both festival audiences and dedicated electronic music followers.
The most formally recognized moment of Afrojack's career came in 2011, when he received the Grammy Award for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical for the David Guetta One Love Club Remix of "Revolver." That recognition placed him among a short list of electronic artists to have received acknowledgment from the Recording Academy, and it reinforced his reputation as a producer capable of shaping material at the highest level of the industry.
In 2024, Afrojack extended his reach into the Chinese market, signaling an active and expansive approach to his international profile. With "Underwater" representing his most recent known release and STMPD continuing to anchor his output, his focus remains squarely on forward-moving production work within the electronic music world.
