William Sami Étienne Grigahcine, professionally known as DJ Snake, is a French electronic music producer and DJ who transformed the landscape of modern dance music. Emerging from the Parisian graffiti scene, he gained international fame with his 2013 breakout hit "Turn Down for What." Since then, he has become a member of the "billion-stream club" multiple times, blending hip-hop, trap, and electronic elements into a signature global sound.
Known for his iconic aviator sunglasses and high-octane performances, DJ Snake has headlined the world's largest stages, from Coachella to Ultra Music Festival. His ability to craft cultural anthems—like the record-breaking "Lean On" and the Latin-infused "Taki Taki"—has made him a bridge between diverse musical worlds. Beyond his hits, he remains a symbol of French pride, famously performing on top of the Arc de Triomphe, cementing his legacy as a premier architect of 21st-century pop and dance music.
