The Guest Host

Tunes By David

DJ and Producer

David Spee (1990), music producer hailing from The Netherlands, found his love for music at a very young age. Music has always been a big part of his life.

From playing the piano from the age of 5 to editing cassettes to make own mix tapes, it was destined to be.Fast forward a few years: We find David playing at gigs as a DJ, at the age of 15, he was playing at the biggest venues and festivals in The Netherlands. David released music under the alias: “David Stellar” at labels such as Hardwell’s imprint Revealed Recordings. After ten years of growing up in the music scene, David was not happy with the pressure that artists are under all the time, David decided to change his life and moved to the background to work as a music producer and mixing/mastering engineer.

With more than 10 Million streams under his belt and making productions for the biggest labels around, the catalogue continues to grow each week!
