David Guetta was born in Paris, France on November 7, 1967, to a Moroccan/Italian father and a Belgian mother. He began DJing in Paris clubs as a teenager. On his upbringing, Guetta says, “My parents were extreme left so everything was against the system. I was walking barefoot in the streets of Paris when I was eight. When I started to DJ they hated it, because for them, nightclubs, and all of this life, was terrible and fake.”
