Headhunterz, the stage name of Willem Rebergen, is widely recognized as the most influential artist in the hardstyle genre. Starting his DJ career in 2007, he redefined hardstyle through his original tracks and the Project One venture with Wildstylez, significantly shaping the genre from the early 2000s onward. After exploring other electronic dance music territories between 2014 and 2017, Headhunterz returned to hardstyle in 2017, embarking on a comeback tour with 125 performances across 34 countries. His return was celebrated with the release of 'The Return of Headhunterz,' which garnered over 15 million Spotify streams and a #28 ranking in the 2018 DJ Mag Top 100. He also launched a new label, ART OF CREATION, and revived the HARD with STYLE Podcast, further solidifying his influence and commitment to the hardstyle community.
