Armin van Buuren (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɑr.mɪn vɑn ˈby.rə(n)]), OON (born 25 December 1976 in Leiden, Netherlands) is a Dutch trance producer and DJ. Between 2007 and 2010, he was voted number one in DJ Magazine's annual top 100 list of the most popular DJs. In the 2011 list, he ranked in second place. Since 2001, Van Buuren has hosted a weekly radio show called A State of Trance, which claims to have around 15 million weekly listeners in 26 countries, which would make it one of the most listened-to radio shows in the world. His 2008 studio album, Imagine, entered the Dutch album chart at #1, a first for a dance music artist in Dutch music history.
Armin van Buuren was born in Leiden, Netherlands on 25 December 1976, but grew up in Koudekerk aan den Rijn. Van Buuren started making music when he was 14.[citation needed] He was inspired by French electronic music composer, Jean Michel Jarre, and wished to become a great electronic music composer like Jarre.[citation needed]
He finished high school at the Stedelijk Gymnasium Leiden in 1995, and left for college to study law at Leiden University. While studying law, Van Buuren's interest for making music blossomed, and he began working as a DJ in a local club called Nexus. As his musical career began to take off, he put his law degree on hold, although he did return to finish law school in 2003.
Live
freedom fires burning
mighty kingdoms shall rise
crystal ships have returned
like pawns on a distant shore
there's a cold empty place inside
where you know there's no end
mighty storm mighty storm
stirs from the skies above
like a cold chill rushed upon my face
searching - for what awaits us
set a course for a new shore
for what tomorrow will bring
plunging the northern seas
winds fill the sails
as we approach another world
that time has forgotten me
the sun blinds and circles me
no man is an island
no footsteps have walked these shores
discoveries on virgin soil
let the Expedition begin
searching - for what awaits us
set a course for a new shore
