Tiësto is celebrating his 56th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed djs of his generation.

Popular dj Tiësto (Red Lights, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 56th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Tiësto, a cultural icon

Born Tijs Michiel Verwest in Breda on January 17, 1969, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Dutch history. Tiësto's not just a great dj, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Tijs hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Tiësto as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 56.

Happy Birthday, Tijs, you're the best!
