idiotic music
When I started producing, I was just making music under all different names. 'Black Afro.' 'Super Grandmaster.' 'Mister Bull.' Like, the most stupid, idiotic names. 'Afrojack' was one of those idiotic names.
came dj favorite music people signature solo songs
At a festival, a lot of people came to see other artists, so you have to put on a signature set and performance: 'This is what I do, this is why I'm here.' At solo gigs, I'm a DJ - I'll play two-and-a-half hours, and not just my own music, also my favorite songs by other artists.
loved time
I always loved cars. I used to play 'Need for Speed' all the time... any racing game.
cool cooler finding happier love people
You're going to be way happier doing what you actually love and finding other people that love the same thing than doing something that other people love so you're just cooler and you have cool friends.
station
If you really want a radio station to play your song, go to that radio station every day with that song in your hand and say, 'Please play it.'
I'm a DJ, but I'm also a ridiculously high-grossing musician due to doing productions.
The only way you can be happy is if you be completely yourself. You have to be you. Don't be what you think you should be.
eventually wake
If you never lie to yourself, you'll always be happy with yourself, and eventually the person you wake up with and the person you go to sleep with is yourself.
life
The coolest things in life are things that you have not done before. That's the key to life: new things always.
music
I'm a DJ who makes dance music who got to play with Sting.
home music stop trying watching
If you really want to be a music producer, stop watching 'Friends' when you get home from school. Start trying to make music. If you're not going to try, then it's impossible. When you try, it's always possible.
great people
For me, it's a great thing to tell people anything is possible. When I was 15, people told me 'You're not going to be a DJ.'
schooled
I'm a producer for fun. I'm not a professional schooled musician or anything.
art car pieces
Cars for me are like a piece of art.
