To me, I'm always trying to look for the energy, to imagine in being played on the dance floor. I guess that's the most important thing in making music for me.

I've always had a fascination with making your own music but never have been skilled enough to play the instrument, so to be able to make music without the ability was awesome.

My dad has always been a big Ray Charles fan, and I've grown up listening to all kinds of music.

House music originated in America, and it has always been around, but I guess it just got a tighter hold on Europe and other parts of the world.

I always just sit down at the piano and make the main hook—what I want the track to be about melodically—and then I’ll build everything else around that. But growing up, I did not play any instruments.

I've always worn a lot of Ralph Lauren, and plaid shirts in general have been a signature piece for me. With plaid, you can look super-relaxed or you can look a bit dressed up.

I think I am a pretty good judge of character in general and try to surround myself with the best people I can.
