DJING TAKES A LOT OF ENERGY,
SO HOW DO YOU KEEP ENERGISED
AND INSPIRED?
I have a lot of different chambers, and I
do many things. I’m very versatile with my
brand. This is my vision even back in the
days. I’m the person that gets bored really
fast. I always want to try something new.
Even when someone asks me to host an
event that I don’t specialise in, I will still
accept it. I’m going to do it as a challenge,
and I’ll read books, research and learn about
it. I like learning and gaining knowledge
about every single thing in the world, not
just necessarily music.
DJing takes a lot of energy, it’s very draining
and very hectic, but when you do what you
love, there’s no such thing as getting bored
or getting enough. You just motivate yourself
with the energy that comes from within. And
as I said earlier, the people around me are
my biggest inspiration. This is what keeps
me going. This is what keeps me inspired.
WHAT IS THE ONE TRUTH THAT
HOLDS CONSTANT THROUGHOUT
YOUR CAREER?
I did say earlier that I like to challenge
myself. I think this keeps me grounded,
excited and inspired to do better and
become a better version of myself. I truly
believe that we are on a constant mission
to learn and polish the diamonds in us and
become better in whatever we do in life.
It doesn’t have to be in your professional
field. It could be in your personal life as well.
You’ll never tire of learning: there’s always
room for improvement. If you really love
what you do, you want to be the best at it.
For me, there’s no such thing as ‘wanting
to become a football player, but not really
caring to become the best football player’.
Everybody should try to become the best in
whatever it is that they do in life.
I can’t see myself doing anything else but
music and that’s why I always strive to be the
best. I think this has helped me constantly
throughout my career. So just be yourself.
I have fallen in the trap of trying to imitate
other people in my business and it’s easy
to fall into it. You may encounter someone
doing something really cool, and you think
you want to become like that person, but
then you should realise that the people love
that person because of who they are. You
are not going to be loved for imitating that
person. Just be you, show them who you
really are, and stay true to yourself.
