WE chat to musicians making waves in the music scene!
HE dominated the charts around the world with his breakout hit, Waves, and has since proven himself to be quite a diverse artist, continuing his steady climb to the top. On his recent trip to South Africa we sat down with the star and talked about his smash hit, his songwriting and what he has planned next.
The Robin Schulz remix of Waves became such a massive hit. How did that remix come to life?
The original version was doing well and it started charting around Europe and we were getting many requests from DJs to remix the track. Robin took the original version and put his spin on it and after we heard it, we called him up and decided to go into the studio with him. It was playing in Ibiza and we knew that if we could release a radio version of the song, it would be this one – and it became the most successful song of our careers.
What inspired the lyrical content?
Heartbreak; pain. That’s why it resonates with so many people. I was writing it and crying at the same time because that’s how I go through my music. If I’m going through something, I put pain to paper. The concept is about two people going through conflict and each battle pushes them further apart.
You’ve said you never perform the Robin Schulz remix live. Why not?
