In the realm of artists who stand distinct from the crowd, there are those who create their own sonic landscapes, defying conventions and blazing trails solely of their own design. Wildstylez is unquestionably one of these exceptional creators. A DJ and producer who forges his path without hesitation, he has elevated Hardstyle to unprecedented heights. The secret lies in his audacious embrace of the uncharted. Born Joram Metekohy in 1983 in the tranquil Dutch village of Veenendaal, Wildstylez's journey has been marked by a fearless pursuit of his musical vision.
In the early 2000s, the discovery of Hardstyle ignited his passion. This vibrant and communal genre, adaptable in its myriad forms, was his canvas. Whether influenced by his diverse experiences in various bands or simply driven by his affinity for vocally-infused songs, Wildstylez was determined to carve out his place. His initial releases, like "Keep Your Head Up," exemplified his signature approach – a seemingly straightforward Hardstyle track infused with unexpected elements like a Hawaiian-flavored steel drum break, a quintessential Wildstylez twist.
From the outset of his career, Wildstylez's hallmark has been his adept manipulation of familiar sounds into the extraordinary, a talent that blurs genre boundaries. Collaborations further amplify his impact, none more legendary than Project One, his 2008 partnership with Headhunterz, followed by his collaboration with Brennan Heart in 2012 on the dancefloor anthem "Lose My Mind." Anchored by powerful vocals, it remains a timeless anthem of Hardstyle's era.
But the pinnacle comes with "Year Of Summer." Driven by his fascination with evocative vocals and resonant melodies, Wildstylez sought the vocal prowess of Dutch singer-songwriter Niels Geusebroek, resulting in a transformative track. A bridge was built from the dancefloor to the radio, an unprecedented achievement for Hardstyle. "Year of Summer" soared to Platinum status, propelling Wildstylez from a leading Hardstyle artist to a dominant figure within the global dance music scene.
From this zenith, Wildstylez's trajectory only gained momentum. His solo show "X-Qlusive Wildstylez" sold out Amsterdam's grand Heineken Music Hall. More hits, such as "Timeless," added to his growing legacy. He embarked on international tours, spanning continents like Australia, Asia, and South America. Amidst his extensive catalog of remixes, collaborations with heavyweights like Hardwell and Nicky Romero showcased his universal appeal.
As the influence of Hardstyle continues to expand, even infiltrating the burgeoning EDM scene in the US, Wildstylez emerges as the unifier, the artist destined to forge connections between Hardstyle and other genres. Yet, amidst his global conquests, Wildstylez remains firmly rooted in the essence of Hardstyle, guided by a steadfast commitment to his craft, and driven by an open mind. In his unique and inimitable way, Wildstylez stands poised to chart new horizons and cement his legacy as an icon in the ever-evolving world of electronic music.
