When I started producing, I was just making music under all different names. 'Black Afro.' 'Super Grandmaster.' 'Mister Bull.' Like, the most stupid, idiotic names. 'Afrojack' was one of those idiotic names.

There's nothing better than making music and hearing 3,000 people chant, 'Afrojack! Afrojack!'

What I do isn't black music; it's just my music.

I'm a DJ who makes dance music who got to play with Sting.

Maybe one day there will finally be an education for electronic music.

I was in school - I was a good learner; if I wanted to get something done, I could get it done. I was lazy, though. I was always, like, sort of an outcast. And when I got home, I was always doing music, but when I was doing music, no one was there to judge it, you know? It was just me in my bedroom. It gave me freedom and made me happy.
