Several years later, he got a job in the Parisian club, Broad Club.

When he was 20 years old, David heard the music, recorded by Farley Keit on the radio and got inspired by it. It was a house single. The genre was new at the time. Guetta realized that he wanted to pursue this genre and create something similar. Immediately, he started working on making his dream come true. A year later, the first songs were ready.
