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.

AFROJACKThe only thing you can do to lead a crowd is prove your passion to them.
AFROJACKHolland is to dance music what Nashville is to country.
AFROJACKWhen I was a baby, my mom used to have a dance school, and she used to teach classes there.
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.
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.
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 actually did a remix for Katy Perry, and her management didn’t respond.
AFROJACKI was in school – I was a good learner; if I wanted to get something done, I could get it done.
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.
AFROJACKMaybe one day there will finally be an education for electronic music.
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.
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.
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.
AFROJACKIf you put 80,000 people together, no one knows each other, and once the music starts, everyone loves each other.
