I know how to treat my voice to make it sound as good as it possibly can - which is still not that good.

Reaching the height of 6 ft. 5 in.; I never expected to be that tall. I just shot up.

I'm not trying to be a celebrity, Justin Timberlake kinda guy.

I suppose Spotify is a good thing. The ads are quite annoying, but a lot of people seem to like it and use it. I don't myself, but it seems like a good idea, and the labels are getting a huge amount of money off it, but the artists aren't, so that must be good for them... but not us.

From Calvin Harris

I'd been sending out demos and CDs for years. I knew my stuff was good enough, but I was getting nowhere. Then, three people - my future manager and two publishers - happened to send one of my tracks to EMI publishing in the same week. All of a sudden, they were interested!

From Calvin Harris

From the age of 14 to about 20, I bombarded record companies and DJs with my demos. I was desperate to get it out there. Most of the time, I got nothing back.

From Calvin Harris

Right at the start, when I was about 13 or 14, I only had an Amiga 500 Plus running a bit of tracker software called OctaMED. My brother was big into his computers, and when he moved up to a proper PC, I took charge of the Amiga.

From Calvin Harris

The trouble with making music as a job is that I have no outside interests. All I can do to wind down is go to sleep.

From Calvin Harris

When I'm a bit sad, I often go for a drive in the country, quite fast with my music up.

From Calvin Harris

Since I was 14, I wanted to make music, but I think I would also have made a good policeman. When I was eight, I wanted to be one so I could tell people off.
