Pierre David Guetta (French: [pjɛʁ david ɡeta]; born 7 November 1967) is a French DJ and record producer. He has sold over 10 million albums and 65 million singles globally, with more than 40 billion streams on Spotify. Guetta was voted the number one DJ in the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs polls in 2011, 2020, 2021, 2023, 2025, and 2026.

In 2013, Billboard ranked his song "When Love Takes Over" (featuring Kelly Rowland) as the number one dance-pop collaboration of all time. He released his debut album, Just a Little More Love, in 2002. Later, he released Guetta Blaster (2004) and Pop Life (2007).

Guetta achieved mainstream success with his fourth album One Love (2009), which included his breakthrough singles "When Love Takes Over" (featuring Kelly Rowland), "Gettin' Over You" (with Chris Willis featuring Fergie and LMFAO), "Sexy Bitch" (featuring Akon) and "Memories" (featuring Kid Cudi); the former three reached number one in the United Kingdom.
