A DJ can’t just play one song. It’s about playing a set, or how you connect songs in those two hours, and where you place them.

For the longest time, I wanted to become a pianist. That was kinda my thing.

A lot of EDM is not bad at all when it’s simple, but a lot of it is not really musical. That’s just what I really like to do: taking what I had at the...

I don’t want to put 12 singles on an album. I want to make a story, a little movie.

I definitely don’t sit down every day and make a new song.

If you’re convinced as an artist of what you’re doing, the only move is to, no matter what people say or what management says or your best friends say or people on Facebook, do what...

I love silence. But I usually only listen to that when I’m sleeping.

I really like working with unique and unknown artists, as they usually bring something fresh to a song.

I always take care to have interesting chord progressions, because you can have the best sound design in the club, and you’ll kill it in the club, but in five years, kids will have better...

Music is its own language – if you don’t speak it, it’s hard to say what you’re trying to do.

When you catch other people with a sound like yours, that’s when you know you did something.

I personally see myself as a musician in the first place. You know, I don’t want to say I will be a producer and DJ for the rest of my life. I can totally see...

Whenever I’m in the U.K., people say I have an American accent. Which is, obviously, funny.

I’ve always dreamed of having an album. The problem is that it’s just very difficult to make an album nowadays because through technology, music shifts so fast, especially electronic music. Once you make five songs,...

I will not promote other people’s songs big time. I will just mention that I produced the song to get the credit I think I deserve.

Although my music is electronic, it has a lot of influences from my past, which is all sorts of genres; I’ve been in a rock-metal band for a long time, and I still feel like,...

I never feel like I need to make a song that sells 5 million copies; that’s not the point of why I make music. It’s great if that happens, like it did with ‘Clarity,’ but...

I used to be a drummer in a band, and I really loved playing the drums, so I look forward to the right opportunity to do that at some point. Maybe even on TV. Every...

I usually write my music on a piano, and I really enjoy performing that way, because that actually shows how the music was in my mind before it actually became an electronic song.

What I don’t like to hear in music is something has not been thought through: that a sound is just there randomly. I want to make sure that every single little noise that’s in my...

I’m my own artist, and I see artists as movies. No one should try to change them for anything. If you don’t like it, you just don’t follow it. And if you don’t like a...

I would never say I will stay in electronic music for the rest of my life. I will always do whatever I feel like at that moment.

What I look for in a voice is for it to be unique. I don’t really care if a singer sings well. Really, it’s about emotion, or being able to sing the lyrics and actually...

I’ve been making music for a long time, since I was very young, but at the same time, I’m still exploring what works for me. I feel like I’m just starting out.

Being yourself is what will make you survive through anything. If you make music to please someone, it’s the first step in the wrong direction. Always do what you believe in, no matter what people...

When I played in a band, people just stand there and look at you and criticize what they didn’t like. But if you watch a D.J. show, people go crazy from beginning to end. Say...

I can’t just sit down and make a song in a day. It’s only possible if you focus on the music and not the sound.
