A Turin-born pioneer of Italian dance music. Gabry Ponte is an Italian DJ, producer, and songwriter who has helped shape European dance music for over two decades. Born in Turin in 1973, he began performing as a DJ in his teens before co-founding the group Eiffel 65 in 1998, whose worldwide hit Blue (Da Ba Dee) turned him into an internationally recognized name in dance-pop.
After leaving Eiffel 65 in 2005 to focus on a solo career, Ponte kept building his catalog of dance-floor anthems, working with artists across Europe and the Americas, including a collaboration with Pitbull on Beat on My Drum. In 2006 he launched his own label, Dance and Love, to support new dance music talent.
More recently, Gabry Ponte has become one of Italy's most streamed dance artists, regularly landing songs on the country's charts and turning tracks into viral club and TikTok hits. His music blends catchy pop hooks with driving electronic production, keeping the Eurodance sound he helped popularize alive for a new generation of listeners.
