All of the artists that I've worked with have an incredible work ethic. And Madonna has the best work ethic of them all. I've learned a lot from being around her.

I had Ice Cube on my first album, "Bunker," and then I did a remix for Snoop Dogg. I've worked with Grandmaster Flash and Pharrell. It's a different work process and there's a different take with how you produce [hip-hop].

There is a definite Chinese pop sound developing, but I was shocked at how influenced it is by American music.

APA is another evolution in my career; they have unique vision and share my goals for the future. I look forward to expanding our horizons together.

When I collaborated with Nelly Furtado, the idea for the song structure came from myself, but the lyrics and the ideas behind the songs came from her.

It's good to see that America has a hub for electronic music in Vegas, like Europe has with Ibiza.
