It's hard - some people get inspired by a feeling, but I'm mostly inspired by melodies.

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.

A lot of work and thinking goes into my DJing. I want the entire night to progress seamlessly and when I have to adapt the energy on the fly for the crowd on any given night, I can do so with harmonic mixes that Ive practiced over and over again. I am far from the only DJ that does this and its something I take pride in being able to do.

I've always been a producer - that's how I see myself first. The DJing came second as a way for me to be able to perform.

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.

It's hard - some people get inspired by a feeling, but I'm mostly inspired by melodies.
