When one enters the music industry, it is never a guarantee that his or her fame would be absolute. The world has been exposed to millions of artists packed with various types of sounds that would either spark interest or bore someone to no end. For an artist to stay longer and gain fame faster, it is imperative that he should be dynamic, fresh and volatile, which is not the case at all times.
Music fans have seen stars dim, casted out of the scene, torched aflame above the others, and some sparks resiliently came back because they were never fit to just die out. Fame has never been too kind with Wolfgang Gartner as how other house music artists have experienced, but this never stopped him from reaching and showcasing his full potential to the world.
Initially presenting his deep house DJ skills, Wolfgang Gartner never found a solid voice as an artist when he first entered the industry in 1999. Born James Thomas Youngman, the now-33 year old musician has experienced failure and used this as an inspiration to get back in the game with a new name in July 2008.
Now equipped with vast experience, Wolfgang Gartner has re-surfaced in mainstream music when he finally connected to a bigger fan base after focusing on other variants of house music, such as electro house, progressive house and the dizzying complextro.
For his comeback, Wolfgang Gartner managed to put eight of his genius tracks as top-notchers in the illustrious Beatport Top 10. Many EDM concert goers would definitely have a copy of his worldwide known single, Wolfgang’s 5th Symphony which suitably became Beatport.com’s highest selling and grossing song of 2009.
Further in his career, Gartner received a coveted nomination at the 2010 Grammy Awards for his remix of Andy Caldwell’s Funk Nasty. From here, his career caught the fame that it’s worth and he became a household name in house events and music festivals.
Some other works of art that were stamped by Wolfgang Gartner’s undying passion for music include his full-length album ‘Weekend in America’, which featured the era’s most famous musicians such as Omarion, will.i.am, Eve and Jim Jones.
This album was generally received well as it placed second on iTunes’ dance charts during the time of its release. Several collaborations were also tagged with Wolfgang Gartner’s ingenuity and music style, such as his tracks with Deadmau5 on Channel 42 and Tiesto’s We Own The Night.
Gartner’s created tracks have also established a good footing, as it is used on video games, thereby reaching a wider and more dynamic audience. Some of the franchises which adapted Wolfgang Gartner’s tracks are Stoked, Midnight Club: Los Angeles, DJ Hero and Forza Horizon.
Some music aficionados would also associate some of Wolfgang Gartner’s tracks to teenage TV series in the United States like Grey’s Anatomy, Teen Wolf, The Secret Circle and How I Met Your Mother.
