Darud net worth
Darude Net Worth: Darude is a Finnish techno DJ and producer with a net worth of $12 million. Born in Eura, Hinnerjoki, Finland in 1975, Darude was born in Ville Virtanen and pursued his passion for music creation at the Turku Institute of Technology. He studied music production and earned his nickname at a house party after playing the track “Rude Boy” several times in a row.
Darude put his music online until he struck a deal with a record label and released his debut single, “Sandstorm.” It was a huge success in his home country, making the top five in both Finland and the UK. It dominated the dance charts in Finland for over four months. Since then, the song has sold more than 2 million copies. Darud’s debut album “Before the Storm” was a similar success, hitting the Finnish charts and selling over 800,000 copies. Darude won three Finnish Grammy Awards for this album. His follow-up single “Feel the Beat” was as successful as “Sandstorm”, reaching number one in Finland for several weeks and breaking into the UK top five. His next few singles were not as popular, although Darude began touring around the world in 2001. His second album, “Rush,” was a moderate success, while his third, “Label This!”, failed to reach the top of the charts. In 2011, Darude opened his own record label.
