Multi-platinum selling, GRAMMY award-winning superstar producer David Guetta is still riding high off his headlining set at Coachella earlier this month, and isn't showing any sign of slowing down anytime soon. Guetta shot up the charts following Coachella, nailing down his first #1 Billboard single when his smash hit "Hey Mama" (feat. Nicki Minaj & Afrojack) peaked on Billboard's Hot Dance/Electronic Songs & Dance Electronic Digital Songs Chart. The superstar collaboration has also topped the charts worldwide, including hitting #1 on iTunes' Dance Singles, #5 iTunes Overall Singles, #10 Billboard Overall Singles Chart and #4 Shazam US Top 200.

David Guetta also gave a rare interview on Larry King Now, which aired April 29th on Ora TV's site and via Hulu. Watch as Guetta dishes on his Coachella experience (his favorite festival in the world!), hanging with Beyoncé, guest appearances from Nicki Minaj, along with more info on his creative process, collaborations, and new music.

David Guetta headlined Coachella in support of sixth studio album, LISTEN, which features vocal contributions from Sia, Nicki Minaj, John Legend, Emeli Sandé, Ryan Tedder, Sam Martin and Nico & Vinz. The album sees Guetta expanding his musical boundaries, challenging the dance music community with A-list collaborators, as well as genre-spanning emerging talent, all while staying true to his masterful pop and club roots. LISTEN also finds David Guetta coming with a fresh approach to his songs on this album, which has lush instrumentals, and features strings and acoustic instruments in the mix.

Guetta has sold over 8 Million albums globally, combined with over 44 million tracks sold globally. With LISTEN, David Guetta will cement his status as a genre-busting hitmaker with his in-your-face fusion of electro and hip-hop. David Guetta has been headlining some of the biggest festivals in the world over the past year, including TomorrowWorld, TomorrowLand, and Electric Zoo, and continues on at that pace in 2015 with Coachella, Ultra Music Festival, TomorrowLand Brazil, Wireless, and more.
