I tried carrying the weight of the world. But I only have two hands.
Dance music is like a virus, it has affected so many different genres
I think I am a pretty good judge of character in general and try to surround myself with the best people I can.
There's always so much music around me now, it seems like everything has to be something with music, so in my spare time I try not to listen to anything. It's so hard for me to listen to something without trying to see a benefit in it: "Maybe I'll make my own version of that track or maybe I'll do this or that. " When I'm off I just don't want to hear anything.
Life's a game made for everyone and love is the prize. So wake me up when it's all over - when I'm wiser and I'm older. All this time I was finding myself and I didn't know I was lost.
I have always been mainstream. It's so weird, because I don't see it as something negative at all. So many people see it as something negative.
There's always haters, no matter what you're doing - whether they're complaining that everything you do sounds the same, or it's too different.
I love DJing, I do. I love everything that comes with it; it's fun and it's kind of glamorous.
