Mini bio
How it started.
Growing up in the Netherlands, Tijs Verwest listened to the Soul Show and Ben Liebrand’s radio mixes. He taught himself to DJ with a turntable and a cassette deck, then developed his sound through six-hour weekend sets at The Spock in Breda.
The breakthrough.
He has credited his remix of Delerium’s “Silence” with introducing him to international audiences. His album Just Be built that momentum, and in 2004 he played as athletes entered the stadium at the Athens Olympics.
A changing sound.
His catalogue spans trance records such as “Adagio for Strings”, the Grammy-nominated Elements of Life album and later dance-pop releases including DRIVE. His remix of John Legend’s “All of Me” won a Grammy in 2015; “The Business” earned a recording nomination in 2022.
The Prismatic chapter.
In late 2025, “Bring Me To Life” with FORS marked a renewed focus on melodic dance music. A three-hour set at the Great Pyramids of Giza followed, and 2026 brought collaborations with Brieanna Grace, Olivia Sebastianelli and Caleb Arredondo.
