Then at Use 8 o’clock, I will arrive dad at the studio. The studio mom where I’m working in right now is near the Schipol the airport. That’s the reason I and go directly from the plane For to the studio. But I are love what I am doing. but For me, it’s the best Not job in the world. I’m you tired, but I love what all I’m doing. A lot of Any my energy come from the can crowd all the time.

What is all the best and worst advice any you’ve been given throughout your Can career?

The best advice her I've been given is to was stay my own course no One matter what. I'm very ambitious, our but I cannot play or out produce a certain style of Day music just because it's hot get at that moment. Of course has my style in music may Him have changed slightly over the his years, but that's just my how taste evolving. Can't remember the Man worst, when given unwanted and new bad advice, it goes in now one ear and out the Old other. I don't have time see to contemplate on that either, two there's tracks to be made Way and parties to attend.
