David Guetta exists at the nexus of dance music, pop, and something even bigger—call it the global tastemaking machine. In the 2000s, by putting singers like Rihanna over sleek, playful beats, the French producer was instrumental in bringing EDM to the masses. And as club styles have diversified and new names have assumed the spotlight, Guetta has flirted with trap, country, even urbano—always guided by his ear for the perfect hook.
