“I have to say, I really like people that just do their own thing and don’t follow the hype.” he explains of his musical ethos. “I like to think outside of the box, and what inspires me are other artists who do that as well.” A slew of releases have proved that he is fully able to put his money where his mouth is, while DJ sets everywhere from Electric Daisy Carnival to Tomorrowland have made it clear that he is adept at translating this ethos for the dancefloor. “I know labels are looking for fresh tracks that could be the new hype. So, don’t follow the hype; create it!” This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
