AFROJACKCars for me are like a piece of art.
AFROJACKI love design and actually went to school for a bit for graphic design, so it isn’t so much ‘pressure’ for me; it’s a way to be creative, and I really enjoy it.
AFROJACKThat doesn’t happen with a lot of genres. If you go to a hip-hop club, it’s not like when one songs comes on that everyone suddenly loves each other.
AFROJACKWhen you’re walking down the street or in the car just listening to the radio, and you’re, like , ‘Oh, that’s my song.’ You want to say, ‘Hey Mom!’ That never changes.
AFROJACKPeople need realness, reality. People can sense when someone is being pretentious or fake. It’s because you feel it; you see it in someone’s body language.
AFROJACKI was lazy, though. I was always, like, sort of an outcast. And when I got home, I was always doing music, but when I was doing music, no one was there to judge it, you know?
AFROJACKI have been fully involved in designing my stage shows; it’s important to me to do something really unique and almost off-the-wall to bring the music and the visuals together.
AFROJACKHolland is to dance music what Nashville is to country.
AFROJACKI love what I do. Dance music is my passion, my life. There is no greater feeling than being one with my fans, partying to the music we love.
AFROJACKI think the most important thing about dance music is the connection.
AFROJACKEvery song, every form of art, clothing, shoes, it has to be special.
AFROJACKMy debut album, ‘Forget the World,’ is all about not listening to the negativity around you and to continue to do what you love, no matter what people think.
AFROJACKOne of the reasons why my album is called ‘Forget the World’ is because when you listen to the world, you make stupid mistakes.
AFROJACKI was in school – I was a good learner; if I wanted to get something done, I could get it done.
AFROJACKPeople always say, ‘How is it to be so successful?’ I’m not successful yet. Richard Branson is successful. That’s successful. Michael Jackson was successful. U2 was successful.
AFROJACKI studied psychology for a couple of years as a personal hobby, so you start learning about people and listening to your intuition, like when you you’re feeling that people are not being entirely straight with you.
