Paul van Dyk (born December 16, 1971 as Matthias Paul in Eisenhüttenstadt, Brandenburg, Germany) is a grammy-award nominated artist, and one of the world's leading electronic dance music DJs and producers.
He was named "World's No.1 DJ" by DJ Magazine in 2005, and in 2006. He has remained in the "Top 10" since 1998. As of 2007, he has sold over 3 million albums worldwide. A trance producer in the early-late 1990s, Paul quickly achieved popularity with his famous remix of 'Love Simulation' by Humate in 1993, and his hit single, For an Angel, but in recent times he no longer likes to describe his music as trance, but rather simply as electronic dance music. He is married to Natascha van Dyk, who also appears on some of his releases (Vocals on "Together We Will Conquer"). The two were married in Cancún, Mexico.
