Armin 1976 yilinda Leiden- Hollanda’da dogdu. Butun hayati boyunce muzik ve muzik teknikleriyle ugrasti. Genc Armin’in muzige ilgisi bir yana, bilgisayarlara muazzam bir ilgisi vardi.


Henuz dokuz yasindayken Basic’te ilk bilgisayar programini yazdi. Armin’in muzik ve elektroniklere olan bu ilgisi, kullandigi aletleri ozumsemesi muzigini olusturmasinda onemli rol oynadi. Bu ozumseme onda bir tutku haline geldi. “Bircok CD satin aldim, ozellikle Jean Michel Jarre ve Klaus Schulze gibi synth-pioneerlarin, ama bu arada gozumu sahneden hic ayirmadim."



Armin 1995’de Leiden Universite’sinde hukuk egitimine devam ederken, kendi studyosunda yaptigi calismalarda muzigini gelistirmeye devam etti. Bu calismalari sonucunda “Blue Fear”, “Touch Me”, ve “Communication” gibi hitlere imza atti. Kendi tarzinin esiri olma!” Armin’in cok kullandigi bir degis. “Muzik yapma tarzini olustururken, kurallar koyarak kendini limitleme. Cunku muzik yapmanin en guzel yani kurallarin olmamasidir!” diyor Armin. Calismalarinin baskalari tarafindan etkilenmemesi icin genellikle tek basina calisiyor. “Insanlar muzigi duyduklari zaman kalpten gelip gelmedigini hemen anliyorlar. Herkes muzigi bilir. Ama insanlarin hatirladigi ancak melodidir ve muzigin uretilisi akla gelen ancak ikinci seydir.”
‘Blue Fear’ in 1998’de Ingiltere’deki basarisi, Armin Van Buuren’in uluslararasi ilk atilimiydi. Efsanevi “76” debut albumunun piyasaya cikisiyla, Armin Van Buuren etkiliyici kariyerinde muazzam bir adim daha atmis oldu. Sonraki efsanevi albumunde Armin van Buuren’in buyuk cikislari olan ‘Communication” ve ‘ Blue Fear’ yeni 2003 mixleriyle yer alirken, ‘Yet Another Day” ve “Sunburn” hit single’lari da albumde yer aldi. ‘76’ nin piyasaya cikisiyla, Armin van Buuren etkiliyici kariyerinde muazzam bir adim daha atmis oldu. 2001’de DJ Magazine’in duzenledigi ve tum dunyadan muzikseverlerin oylamasi ile olusan resmi “Top 100” da 27. sirayi aldi. 2002’de 4.siraya kadar yukseldi ve ayni yil 12,5 saat The Hague club’undeki non-stop performansiyla yeni bir rekor kirdi.

Armin 2003’ten bu yana ise dunyanin 3. en buyuk DJ/PRODUKTOR’u olarak
siralamadaki tum rakiplerini geride birakti ve zirveyi tehdit ediyor.

Armin van Buuren basarili bir DJ’den olmanin yani sira Avrupa’nin en cok
satan “trance” muzik plak sirketi olan Armada Music’in de sahiplerinden.
Ayrica, Tiesto, Airwave ve Ferry Corsten gibi insanlarla is birligi yaparak,
