As far as I'm concerned, the whole point of making music is to get it heard by as many people as possible.

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.

I think music is one of the hero/sheroes of the African-American existence.

Since the age of 12, all my musical thinking has been influenced by Afro-American music.

I try not to punish the audience by making them listen to too much acoustic guitar.

Yes, the audience is so important to Negro music, especially the element of call and response.

There is nothing like singing a song that 20,000 people know and are singing back to you.

Music will never go away, and I will never stop making music; it's just what capacity or what arena you decide to do it.

I like to think I don't make music for ignorant people.
