DJ Sammy, Gone Global!
Since I haven't updated on any of my FAVORITE Deejays, let's have a little look at Spanish DJ, DJ Sammy! xd

Spain's most popular DJ/Producer goes by the name of DJ Sammy, a veteran of electronic dance and trance with a degree in music technology and 20 years of hard work to prove it.

Sammy has spent years fine-tuning his music winning formula in the only way he knows how, by jet-setting around the globe and feeling the vibe at some of the most prestigious venues in the world dispensing musical epiphanies wherever he plays. A native of Mallorca, Spain, he always knew how to harness the sun, beach and the sea in order to get the most out of his audiences and Sammy's evolving appreciation of the "feel good factor" has brought him commercial success globally.

His worldwide breakthrough was in 2001 when DJ Sammy begun to put his own name to his work. The single Heaven helped DJ Sammy achieve massive success in Europe and Australia with 2 million records sold, then came to the US where "Heaven" reached #2 in U.S. singles chart before going to the UK in 2002 and hitting #1.
Sammy followed up "Heaven" with a remake of Boys of Summer, which shot to #2 on the UK charts.

In addition to selling more CDs than any other artist worldwide, Sammy has recently wrapped his second season on Ibiza experiencing big success with his club night Heaven at Es Paradis / Ibiza & BCM / Mallorca, founded Bahia Music Management and his dance label Super M Records.

DJ Sammy's highlights:
arrow US BMI Pop Award 2004 for - "Heaven"
arrow #1 Hit - "Heaven" in UK
arrow #2 Hit - Boys of Summer in UK
arrow #2 Hit - "Heaven" in the US Single Billboard Charts

I'll try to get information more often! Once I figure out why my computer won't play media, I'll post one of his music videos on my profile. 3nodding
