MARTIN GARRIX NOMINATED FOR MTV VMA AWARD

18-year-old DJ Martin Garrix is the only Dutch artist to be nominated for a Video Music Award. The nomination is in the MTV Clubland category for his hit single, “Animals.” Competitors in the same bracket include Calvin Harris, Disclosure, Zedd ft. Hayley Williams, and DJ Snake & Lil Jon.

When asked about the nomination, Martin says, “WOW! This is totally crazy!”

Garrix, born Martijn Garritsen, shot to stardom in July 2013 with his breakthrough track. The song has been viewed nearly 300 million times on YouTube and has reached platinum sales status in America.

Since the success of ‘Animals’ Martin’s career has shot like a rocket, performing at clubs and festivals all around the world. This past April he played the prestigous Coachella Festival, made his Sensation debut earlier this month, and will be headlining the mainstage at Belgium’s Tomorrowland Festival next weekend.

A live broadcast will be streaming from the Forum in Ingelwood, California on Sunday August 24th.
