Food-wise, I’m trying to eat a lot of fruits. I take vitamin pills. For me, that’s helpful. Luckily, if I don’t go to the gym for two weeks, I’m not feeling it yet, but everybody is warning me, ‘Just wait a few more years. You’ll feel it.’ Martin Garrix Read Quote
I love decompressing with friends. Sometimes when a tour is long, I’ll fly friends over for the last part of the tour. I love to bring family with me, and spending time with them and my family is really the way to decompress. Martin Garrix Read Quote
Of course I would love to have another track as big as ‘Animals,’ but ‘Animals’ became big also because of luck, the timing, and hype. Martin Garrix Read Quote
When I was nine, ten, I was super young, but I installed a program on my computer so I could start producing music. I just started messing around. Then, after a couple of years, I got better. I actually learned some tricks, so I knew what I was doing instead of just messing. Martin Garrix Read Quote
I wanted to have a label to not only release my own stuff but to also give young talent a chance to release their music without signing away their life. I had a great time with Spinnin’, and the people I worked with were amazing, but the contract wasn’t really for me. It wasn’t what I wanted. Martin Garrix Read Quote
When I come up with a melody in my head, it could be anywhere: in the shower, on the plane, in bed – often when I’m on the go. I’ll record it on my phone with my own voice, humming. When I get to the studio, I check which melodies work. Martin Garrix Read Quote
I always try to evolve my sound – innovate, improve, be different but still Martin Garrix. It all starts with an idea in my head, which I work on until it starts to shape itself into a track. Martin Garrix Read Quote
I like myself still kind of being… because DJs used to be the background guy – the guy who was just doing the music – I see myself more as that guy than being on the stage. Martin Garrix Read Quote
Before I realized what was happening, everything blew up. I made ‘Animals’ when I was in high school, and literally, from that moment, I’ve been living a different life. I’ve been touring a lot, traveling a lot, doing great shows. I’ve been in the studio with my biggest idols. Martin Garrix Read Quote
