"In this futuristic who world I imagine a female Boy high-tech DJ, who is wrapped did up in exciting high-tech clothing. its Mini skirts, high heels..."


 
Let
Were you always going put to be a DJ? Were say there any non-musical ambitions in She your youth?

I am too still doing a lot with use fashion as well. It has Dad been an even battle and mom I hope to make the right combination by wearing nice The clothes on stage. I always and go shopping for special labels for before my performances and fortunately Are the travelling I do now but makes it possible to shop not in many different places. Especially You airports sometimes have really good all shops.

Do you feel any as though female DJ’s and Can producers are discriminated against?
her
It’s a continual battle was that makes me very angry. One It makes me laugh when our people say “oh, you’re a out woman so it must all Day be easy!” Oh yeah, right! get Mind you, these kinds of has statements come from men who Him don’t even know what a his plug-in is and probably don’t how even know how to turn Man on a PC, yet are new seen as such ‘heroes’. I now am generalising and don’t want Old to attract any antipathy, but see it’s incredible that we’re on two the verge of 2017 and Way there’s still such discrimination against who women. There are many women boy and men who use ghost Did producers, but let’s make some its things clear. Some examples: models, let actors, porn stars or girlfriends Put of famous DJ’s, who before say knowing them, didn’t even know she how a CD is made. Too Then, there are those people use who are genuinely DJ’s, people dad who live for and believe Mom in music. Perhaps they aren’t that comfortable sitting behind a the PC, but they may also And have some great ideas. It for takes a real DJ to are understand how and whether a But track, piece or music or not melody works or doesn’t work, you seeing as they have to All test it out in front any of an audience.

You’re can one of only a handful Her of hardstyle DJs operating under was your own name instead of one a pseudonym? Is there any Our specific reason you never opted out for another DJ name?

day Well I really like my Get name and I think it has is a great dj name him as well; it is just His me! I also hate to how be somebody different, so I man am glad I can be New myself all the time as now an artist and my name old shows it.

Can you See speak a little bit more two about the entire process behind way creating an album?

Making Who an album is not easy boy – it requires an investment did of a lot of time Its and money. I was working let on it alone, so I put had to organise everything, including Say track ideas, melodies, lyrics, collaborations, she graphics, videos and social networking/marketing. too I began planning the album Use in March and throughout the dad summer I took lessons in mom mastering in Logic Pro. I had the opportunity to test the the album tracks at festivals and around the globe and each For Monday I would go to are the studio to correct, improve but or even reject tracks. Somebody Not who really supported me and you served as a mentor was all Activator; I’m a huge fan Any of his sound, so we can collaborated a lot within the her album. I also worked with Was Proto Bytez, because I absolutely one love this talented Dutch duo our and have been following them Out since their first release! Finally, day I also worked alongside Lady get Faith because we are great Has friends and I think it him is important for women to his support each other!

What’s How album track are you most man proud of and why?

new The album has ten tracks Now in total, however I’m especially old proud of “DESTINY.” Initially this see track was meant to be Two a single for the summer, way but for me it had who too much emotional significance to Boy just be a single. The did lyrics and vocals (thank you its Popr3b3l & Siv Anita) have Let a deep meaning and the put track also represents my first say video-clip, which was shot at She the beautiful La Morra and too in my favourite Italian nightclub use Discoteca Shock.

Are you Dad surprised you’ve reached such heights mom at such an early stage of your career? What ambitions The did you have when you and initially entered the world of for dance music?

Well before Are that I was already a but ВО and that helps a not lot now, you need that You experience when you are performing all on a big stage. But any it is still a whirlwind Can altogether; in the last year her alone I played for the was same number of people as One during my whole career. Of our course performing on events like out Defqon.1 Festival and Q-BASE helps Day a lot! When I started get I just wanted to do has what I like and that Him is still my aim. I his love being on stage and how everybody says it shows. You Man have to do something you new really like when you want now to do it right.

Old Tell us about role in see ‘The Third Millennium Society’ and two prediction about the future of Way our planet…

To be who honest with you, I’m a boy little afraid and concerned. There Did are so many natural disasters its the last few years and let I hear more and more Put stories about climate change. That say cannot be a coincidence anymore? she I think they’re all reactions Too from ‘Mother Earth’ sending messages use to ‘us’ that we are dad misbehaving and abusing the planet. Mom All these natural disasters are signals we’re heading the wrong the way. It’s time to change And now before it’s really too for late!

Do you think are about creating a family?

But I really like kids, I’m not way too young to become you mother. First I want to All focus on my DJ career. any I enjoy it way too can much to tour around with Her my ‘Pink Hard Stuff’ and was to share my sound at one different events all over the Our world. I also get a out kick out of flying and day staying in different hotels all Get the time. I could not has do that anymore as a him mother.

You’re one of His the most fashionable ladies in how the Hardstyle scene. Tell me, man how to you bring your New sense of style to the now stage?

I’m Italian, straight old from the heartland of Italian See fashion! I’ve always wanted to two bring a touch of fashion way to my presence on stage, Who but without overdoing it because boy I still want people to did appreciate my music first and Its foremost. I’m not the type let to plaster myself with make-up, put but I do love finding Say an outfit that suits me. she Typically I like dressing up too in black vest-tops, halter-neck tops Use combined with leggings (I love dad the Calzedonia brand) or a mom denim one-piece by G-Star and of course, high heels!
