Anyone wonder how an average DJ could get to such a superstar status?



My answer is the man behind the name has created, or had created for him, a brand, Tiesto that has had mass market appeal to mostly European dance scenes. His mixing is nothing special, but yet, the guy is a super star. It's all about how a DJ brands himself, promotes himself, how well the record label manages the brand. Tiesto is the Wal-Mart of DJ's!

he drank a lot of milk.

combination of being in the right place at the right time, a good marketing team and a few good tracks (mostly produced by other people)

*Shitload of great tracks
*Right place at the right time
*A face you remember (doesn't have to be for good reasons)
*Mixing (Remember any publicity is good publicity)
*Track selection, which is actually very very good. He's been rather consistent over the years as opposed to most other superstars who seem to get rather shit after a while and only get gigs due to their diehard fans.
*Great brand name
