Jonas Blue

“My version of 'Fast Car' is in the same key as the original. To me that is where all the emotion lies.”

“I like releasing singles because I can get them out there quickly and it's based on the changes, the sounds that are going on all around the world that I'm hearing and just a whole different bunch of influences which is sometimes hard to get across on an album because it can take a few months or a year to come along.”

“When I was seven years old I played the flute, then by 11 I quit being a musician and got into Djing.”

“The concept of 'Blue' is to transport its listeners to a different world with music. And I chose to release a full-length album because it enables me to experiment with many different production styles, not just a single sound, and take listeners on a journey.”

“I used to follow artistes like David Guetta and Swedish House Mafia a lot before making a full fledged career in EDM... their music inspired me too much.”

“I come from the streaming world, so the changing trend of consuming music that way is positive for me.”

“I was a bit of a hot head when I was younger so I used to burn a lot of bridges.”

“It is a pleasure for me when 'Rise,' which many people loved, was covered by a famous group like IZ'ONE.”

“The adrenaline is like nothing else. You might be tired or whatever else, but when you get on that stage and see people reacting there's nothing like it. It's a bit god-like - that feeling that nothing can feel better.”

“My music is very global.”

“My weakness is women.”

“The role of a DJ is being able to keep people on the floor for X amount of hours so you can't just push buttons to do that, you have to have good tracks and a knowledge of where to take people.”

“I kind of write in a very classic way. I sit in the piano, working on some catchy, cool melodies and coming up with song concepts for those melodies. I kind of write in a very traditional way '- how people have written since the early '40s.”

“I'm a songwriter and producer, so I'm always wanting to make my own stuff, and not use anybody else's.”

“I've tried to write songs that just make people feel happy and good.”

“Definitely India is one place I'd love to travel to and play.”

“I grew up with all different genres of music, and I want to include that in my production as well.”

“I try to find very simplistic melodies, which are the hardest ones to create.”

“I stay up night after night looking at new software, seeing new trends, what music's happening you know you've just got stay constantly connected and that's just something that I do and I think is really important.”

“I've never had that boring office job. All my jobs were music related.”
