More from Afrojack
I actually did a remix for Katy Perry, and her management didn’t respond.
AfrojackAfrojack I 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.
AfrojackAfrojack I 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.
AfrojackAfrojack We didn’t have money for a babysitter, so she always brought me with her to the dancing school. Back then, I was already watching and listening to Michael Jackson for a long time.
AfrojackAfrojack That 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.
AfrojackAfrojack I 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?
AfrojackAfrojack My 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.
AfrojackAfrojack Maybe one day there will finally be an education for electronic music.
AfrojackAfrojack I think the most important thing about dance music is the connection.
AfrojackAfrojack When I was a baby, my mom used to have a dance school, and she used to teach classes there.
AfrojackAfrojack When 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.
AfrojackAfrojack I 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.
AfrojackAfrojack One of the reasons why my album is called ‘Forget the World’ is because when you listen to the world, you make stupid mistakes.
AfrojackAfrojack I’m just a guy, doing okay. But I’m a happy guy doing okay.
AfrojackAfrojack The only thing you can do to lead a crowd is prove your passion to them.
AfrojackAfrojack People 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.
