Armin van Buuren was born in Leiden, on 25 December 1976,[1] but grew up in Koudekerk aan den Rijn. Van Buuren started making music when he was 14.[16] He was inspired by French electronic music composer Jean-Michel Jarre.[16][17] Van Buuren graduated from the Stedelijk Gymnasium Leiden in 1995, and studied law at Leiden University.[18] He began working as a DJ in Club Nexus, playing multiple sets a week, most of which lasted six or more hours.[19] In 1999, he met Dave Lewis who introduced him as a DJ in England and the United States.[20] As his musical career began to take off, he put his law degree on hold, but he did return to graduate from law school in 2003.[21]
On 18 September 2009, Van Buuren married Erika van Thiel, with whom he had been together for eight years.[22] Their daughter Fenna was born in July 2011.[23] Van Buuren announced just hours before he was due to headline the main stage at Tomorrowland (27 July 2013) that his wife had given birth to a son, Remy.[24]
On 16 February 2018, Van Buuren explored his family history in an episode of the TV series Verborgen verleden, the Dutch version of the UK series Who Do You Think You Are?.[25]
Career
1996–1999: Early career and success
In 1996, Van Buuren released EP and Push on Timeless Records. Van Buuren had his first success with a track called "Blue Fear", which was released under the Cyber Records label in 1997. Another successful track, "Communication", was released under the same label and became popular in Ibiza, Spain in the summer of 1999.[26] After being signed to AM PM Records,[20] this track entered the UK Singles Chart at No. 18 in 2000.[27]
In the beginning of 1999, Van Buuren started his label Armind together with United Recordings. The first release, Gig – "One", was well received. The second release, "Touch Me" under the name Rising Star, was signed to Ministry of Sound in the UK, before the record was released. By the time of his third release, Gimmick – "Free" was signed to R&S Records. During this year, he remixed the first two singles of Gouryella (Gouryella and Walhalla) and, under the guise of Rising Star, produced a remix of L'Esperanza, a song by Airscape.[28][29]

In 2000, Van Buuren started his own Armin van Buuren compilation series, a mix of progressive house and vocal trance styles of music. His first compilation album, A State of Trance (not to be confused with his weekly A State of Trance radio shows), sold 10,000 copies[30] and contains Van Buuren's remix of Moogwai, "Viola". Teaming up with Tiësto, two new projects were born: Major League – "Wonder Where You Are?" was released on Black Hole Recordings and Alibi – "Eternity" was released on Armind. "Eternity" received club and chart success and was signed to Paul van Dyk's imprint Vandit Records. Another major collaboration followed this. Together with Ferry Corsten, Van Buuren recorded a riff titled "Exhale[31]" for the System F album, Out of the Blue.

In this weekly two-hour show, entitled A State of Trance, he plays the latest popular trance music tracks, and publishes the artists and track titles on his website. When ID&T Radio changed genres in 2004, Van Buuren moved A State of Trance to Fresh FM and later SLAM!FM, two Dutch radio stations.
