David Guetta has been djaying since he was a teenage and now has become the number world class dj, producer and collaborator in the music industry. To illustrate that achievement, Guetta was honored at a handprint ceremony held at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre this past Saturday, December 3, 2011. David was surrounded by his wife, friends and music industry folks as he immortalized his hands in wet cement.
The honor is the first for a dj and in a series of planned events at the Grauman's for its new handprint display at the Chinese 6 Theatres adjacent from the main Chinese Theatre. David addressed the press and crowd saying, "I'm very honored to be the very first dj to do this." He added, "America is going to take this (dj) culture to the next level."
After the ceremony, everyone was treated to cake and champagne sponsored by Belvedere. The festivities didn't stop there as David Guetta performed for a sold out crowd at the new "Grauman's Ballroom" inside the Chinese Theatre. Spotted in the crowd was Apl.de.Ap of the Black Eyed Peas who is prominently spotlighted along with his bandmates in David Guetta's autobiographical documentary "Nothing But The Beat." Apl.de.ap jokingly said to this reporter's affiallite Celeste Arevalo of Pacific Rim Video, "What up David Guetta? I see you, rockin' it."
Guetta recently released his album "Nothing But The Beat" that has already garnered him two hit singles, “Where Them Girls At” feat. Flo Rida & Nicki Minaj, and his first number one Top 40 single “Without You” feat. Usher. Aside from the handprint honor, Guetta also received two Grammy nominations this year for Best Dance/Electronica Album for Nothing But The Beat and Best Dance Recording for his electronic track “Sunshine” which he produced with Swedish DJ Avicii.
