I just like playing songs with happy vibes and good feelings.
I started studying business and finance in Edinburgh as a backup plan. I was still making music many hours a day, and when I was at university, the electronic music boom started really taking off globally.
While I was born in Singapore, I didn't actually grow up here. So I don't remember all that much.
I really like streaming services. It's a great way for people to find your music.
I don't want to make just tropical house. I want to make everything, just like, whatever I feel like making.
I consider myself more of a producer and a musician than a DJ.
I get a lot of demos sent my way, and I listen to them, and sometimes they just have something very special.
SiriusXM has had my back ever since day one when I was making remixes in my dorm room at university, and it means a lot that they're supporting my music as I prepare to release my debut album, 'Cloud Nine.'
When I am back home, I have an upright piano and I play constantly.
I called it 'Cloud 9' because that's the place I want to take people when they are listening to my music. It's also where I am when I make music.
I don't really know too many designers. I like a lot of what Kanye West has done with Yeezy, but I think it's a bit too, how you say, elevated; it's a little bit too special. Like he's trying to make something that's kind of a little bit too cool sometimes.
There's just a completely different vibe at festivals. Everyone gets to hang out and enjoy their favorite music all day. I really do try and play as many festivals as possible!
I always knew I wanted to create original material, and after having meetings with all sorts of record labels, I decided that Sony was the right place to do it. They knew what I wanted to make and gave me the freedom to express myself.
Elton John and Billy Joel, I find them both to be huge inspirations, those guys are so talented.
I really enjoy doing remixes, but I don't want to be known as just a 'remix artist' for the rest of my career.
Sometimes I can sit at my computer and find a cool sound, or a new synth patch, and get super-inspired by that and make a track based on that sound. But the piano is where I find the inspiration and come up with the melody.
To finally be able to actually play the piano with vocalists and actually do, like, a proper concert - that feels really good.
The opportunity to be a part of the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games in Rio is a huge milestone in my career, and it will be the biggest performance of my life.
Coldplay doesn't have to stay within a certain genre; they just go where they go.
I hate being put in a box labelled 'tropical house.'
