DJ Snake Biography
William Sami Étienne Grigahcine, known professionally as DJ Snake, is a French DJ and record producer recognized for his blend of hip-hop, trap, and electronic dance music. Grigahcine began DJing in Parisian clubs at age 14 and started producing music at 19, developing his skills within the city's underground music scene. His stage name, "Snake," originated from his youth, referencing his ability to evade police while creating graffiti art, a nickname that followed him into his music career. Grigahcine's multicultural background and exposure to Parisian street culture and international hip-hop have shaped his distinctive sound, appealing to audiences worldwide.
Grigahcine gained mainstream attention by co-producing tracks for Lady Gaga's album "Born This Way," which earned a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year. He continued his collaboration with Gaga on "ARTPOP," contributing to tracks such as "Applause" and "Do What U Want." His international breakthrough came with the single "Turn Down for What" featuring Lil Jon, which reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100, achieved octuple platinum certification from the RIAA, and received a Grammy nomination for Best Music Video. The track also won Top Dance/Electronic Song at the Billboard Music Awards and received multiple MTV Video Music Award nominations, establishing Grigahcine as a prominent figure in electronic music.
Grigahcine's collaboration with Major Lazer and MØ on "Lean On" topped charts in nine countries, peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100, and became one of the most streamed songs on Spotify, earning diamond certification from the RIAA. His debut studio album, "Encore," included the hit "Let Me Love You" with Justin Bieber, while his second album, "Carte Blanche," featured "Taki Taki" with Selena Gomez, Cardi B, and Ozuna. The music video for "Taki Taki" surpassed 8 billion views on YouTube. Grigahcine has released three studio albums and more than 45 singles, accumulating over 10 billion streams on Spotify.
As a live performer, Grigahcine has headlined major music festivals such as Coachella, Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival, and EDC Las Vegas. He is among the few DJs to sell out the Stade de France for a solo show, marking a significant achievement in French electronic music. Grigahcine also performed atop the Arc de Triomphe in support of Paris' bid for the Summer Olympics, highlighting his connection to his hometown. He has been honored with a wax figure at the Musée Grévin in Paris.
Grigahcine co-founded Pardon My French, a collective of French DJs including Tchami, Mercer, and Malaa, to promote French electronic music globally. He also established Premiere Classe Records, a label focused on supporting emerging talent in electronic music. Grigahcine has been named to Forbes' "30 Under 30 in Music" list and ranked among the Top 100 DJs by DJ Magazine for nearly a decade, reflecting his influence in contemporary music and the global electronic music industry.
