Nicky Romero, born Nick Rotteveel van Gotum on January 6, 1989, in Amerongen, Netherlands, developed an early passion for music. He started playing the drums at a young age and later transitioned into electronic music production. His exposure to music production software and DJing sparked his interest in dance music, leading him to pursue a career in the industry.

Career Beginnings and Breakthrough (2008–2012)

Romero’s early career saw him releasing tracks on smaller labels, but his breakthrough came in 2010 with a bootleg remix of David Guetta’s “When Love Takes Over.” The remix gained traction and caught the attention of Guetta himself. In 2011, Romero gained further recognition with his original track “Toulouse,” which became a massive hit and is still regarded as one of his most iconic songs.
