Zitat des Tages von Zedd:
I will not promote other people's songs big time. I will just mention that I produced the song to get the credit I think I deserve.
I definitely don't sit down every day and make a new song.
I've been making music for a long time, since I was very young, but at the same time, I'm still exploring what works for me. I feel like I'm just starting out.
I've always dreamed of having an album. The problem is that it's just very difficult to make an album nowadays because through technology, music shifts so fast, especially electronic music. Once you make five songs, the first one you did is already old and you wished you would have put it out right away. So that's kind of the difficult part.
I used to be a drummer in a band, and I really loved playing the drums, so I look forward to the right opportunity to do that at some point. Maybe even on TV. Every single live performance I'm doing on TV, I want it to be different and unique.
I love silence. But I usually only listen to that when I'm sleeping.
I can't just sit down and make a song in a day. It's only possible if you focus on the music and not the sound.
Although my music is electronic, it has a lot of influences from my past, which is all sorts of genres; I've been in a rock-metal band for a long time, and I still feel like, personally, I have a lot of influence from that. My classical influence, you can find spots here and there.
I always take care to have interesting chord progressions, because you can have the best sound design in the club, and you'll kill it in the club, but in five years, kids will have better sound design. But if your music is good, you'll always be able to listen to it, even in 20 or 50 years.
Whenever I'm in the U.K., people say I have an American accent. Which is, obviously, funny.
I really like working with unique and unknown artists, as they usually bring something fresh to a song.
Music is its own language - if you don't speak it, it's hard to say what you're trying to do.
If you're convinced as an artist of what you're doing, the only move is to, no matter what people say or what management says or your best friends say or people on Facebook, do what you do, and people will find their way to it.
