EMI announced that David Guetta became the first DJ and music artist to be handprinted at the legendary Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood over the weekend. To celebrate Guetta's status as the world's best-selling DJ of all time, the Chinese Theatres selected the French-born Guetta as the inaugural artist in its musicians-only handprint series "Handprints Homage."
Guetta attended the ceremony, which took place inside the newly opened Grauman's Ballroom, and performed a jubilant set at the space on December 3rd.
The Grauman's honor came the same weekend that Guetta was nominated for two 2012 Grammy Awards: "Best Dance/Electronica Album," for his acclaimed fifth studio album Nothing But The Beat, and "Best Dance Recording" for his electronic track "Sunshine," which he produced with Swedish DJ Avicii. Now an eight-time Grammy nominee, Guetta won the award for "Best Remixed Recording" back-to-back in 2010 and 2011.
