Genre Make Music Own Started Trying

I wouldn't be where I am without my fans, and I am very thankful for them.

I consider myself more of a producer and a musician than a DJ.

The opportunity to be a part of the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games in Rio is a huge milestone in my career, and it will be the biggest performance of my life.

I feel like when I get the demos - I get a lot of demos - but when I get the right demo, I get very inspired. I produce around it, and it often goes very fast.

While I was born in Singapore, I didn't actually grow up here. So I don't remember all that much.

I get into a zone where I'm really in my own world when I make music.

I think my music covers a broader sound than just 'Tropical House'... My goal is to simply be a great producer in my own right without being pigeonholed.

When I am back home, I have an upright piano and I play constantly.

Avicii's melodies were so simple and cool, and they were actually similar to the melodies I played on piano. I thought if I could teach myself how to produce and get those melodies out of my head and into the computer, maybe I could make some cool music, too.

When I get up there, maybe I'm nervous for the first song, but then I get into it. It's a lot of fun to stand up there. I always enjoy the moment when I'm actually standing on stage. When I'm done, I'm like, 'Oh, I want to play one more song.'

To finally be able to actually play the piano with vocalists and actually do, like, a proper concert - that feels really good.

It was the fans sharing my music around that started it all for me.
