Profession

Robbert van de Corput began studying piano at the age of four and was composing his electronic songs at the age of twelve.

He was inspired by Tiësto, who made him explore more of the commercial EDM scene, paving the way for his success.

Soon after, he was approached by the Dutch producer duo Klubbheads and offered him a record deal with Digidance Records.

A year later, Hardwell and Greatski released the single “Never Knew Love”, which quickly topped the German Official Singles Chart.

Every year, he releases a compilation album titled “Hardwell Presents Revealed,” featuring new tracks from the label and Hardwell himself.

In 2011 he signed with the German record label “Kontor Records”, which expanded his audience reach.

That same year, he collaborated with Tiësto on “Zero 76”, the theme song for the “Energy” festival, which reached number one on the Beatport charts.

Hardwell subsequently launched his own podcast, “Hardwell On Air,” to interact with fans, guest on shows, and share new material.

He debuted at number 24 on DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs list, behind Skrillex, for the first time, his second-highest finish ever.

A year later, Hardwell released The Spaceman, which sold over 500,000 copies in the United States and helped popularize the “big room house” genre.

In 2013, Hardwell started the “I Am Hardwell” Canadian bus tour with colleagues Dannic and Dyro.

“I’ve been through a lot… but if I had to pick one, it would be something very special to finish my first ‘I Am Hardwell’ world tour and sell out Madison Square Garden in New York.” – Haldwell

“Chuckie, Laidback Luke, Ferry Corsten, Armin van Buuren and many other Dutch DJs were influential to me growing up. The Dutch electronic music scene was and still is very vibrant with incredible electronic talent, which has always inspired me.” – Haldwell
