Mini bio
How it started.
Nick van de Wall began making music on a home computer as a child. In a Future Music interview, he recalled experimenting with Magix Music Maker before moving to FruityLoops. Hearing club music as a teenager helped him decide what he wanted to do with his life.
The breakthrough.
“Take Over Control,” his 2010 collaboration with Eva Simons, brought Afrojack to a wider audience. He followed it with “Give Me Everything” alongside Pitbull, Ne-Yo and Nayer in 2011. His debut album, Forget the World, arrived in 2014 and included “Ten Feet Tall” with Wrabel.
A producer behind the records.
His work with David Guetta on Madonna’s “Revolver” won the 2011 Grammy for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical. The Recording Academy also lists nominations for “Collide,” “Look At Me Now” and “Hero,” showing how his work crosses dance music and rap.
More sides to the sound.
Alongside his crossover records, he explores techno and tech-house as Kapuchon and also releases music as NLW. He has shared production and career lessons through WALL PRO Academy, made with Tomorrowland’s Online PRO Academy.
