Calvin Harris: The $100 Million DJ

He’s worth $100 million, is the richest DJ in the world and has worked with all of the top names in pop. But just who is Calvin Harris? Calvin Harris has come a long way since the days when he was simply humble Adam Wiles, stacking shelves in a supermarket in his native Dumfries.

In 2014, Forbes listed Calvin Harris as the world’s highest paid DJ for the second year running and he has just scored his fifth number one hit – and his third this year. But what makes this Scot with the Midas touch tick? From where does he draw his inspiration and what makes him the globe’s most desirable DJ? Calvin Harris: The $100 Million DJ is the first definitive biography of the chart-topping sensation, charting Harris’ astonishing journey from struggling musician to international superstar.Looking closely at the singer’s background and his remarkable rise to fame, it promises to reveal a side to the star never seen before.
