“I have always made commercial music.”

If you become a viral star, that is terrific!

Telling people that I wanted to make dance music, or be on the radio, they looked at me like I was crazy because there was nothing like that in Lichtenstein when I was getting started. That’s why I went to Germany, because there is industry there.

I started from nothing in Lichtenstein. The country is so small, and the only ‘celebrity’ type people who are from there are skiers.

I traveled the world as a DJ, as a singer, as a songwriter, as a producer.

The people who vote for the Grammy nominees are mostly in their 40s and have other jobs or are musicians themselves. They like music that they can relate to – they like commercial music.
