‘We Are The People’, the state song of UEFA EURO 20 20 is place to start up June 11 at Rome. After the football anthem was started on DJ Martin Garrix’ 25th birthday May 4, 2021, by Sony Music Netherlands, the alliance with U 2 greats, Bono and The Edge, was clearly one of those major surprises for fans.
In a message interview,” Garrix shows the championship had been pushed back because of this pandemic, that they had to preserve the secret for two decades. “Just being in the studio with them has been a surreal experience. Bono has such an iconic voice; I had goosebumps during the whole session. I love that they were so open-minded and involved in the creative process of the song,” he states.
The EDM virtuoso climbed to fame with all the electronic motif titled ‘Animals’ at 2013, at age 17. Garrix has collaborated with Usher, Dua Lipa, Bebe Rexha, Troye Sivan and Khaled. Still, writing for a conference such as the EURO Championship can be just a special honor, ” he states. “My first response when UEFA reached out was disbelief, then when things were confirmed, it turned into being very nervous, but also excited and grateful that they put their trust in me.”
Early in 2013, Garrix published one branded ‘Pressure’ with British singer, song writer Tove Lo, that showcased his diversified repertoire. “Because of the pandemic, I had a lot of time on my hands to spend in the studio. This helped spark my creativity in a way that I could experiment with other sounds and explore new things, and ‘Pressure’ was a result of that,” says Martin who’s motivated by his own fellow Dutch DJ Tiësto. “I wouldn’t be making music and doing what I do if it wasn’t for him. Next to inspiring me with his music, he’s been a great friend and mentor for me the past couple of years,” he or she adds.
Mentioning the part of his family at his success,” Garrix states, “Without my parents supporting my decision to quit school and pursue a career in music I definitely wouldn’t be where I am today.”
The last season was challenging. “It was weird for me to make festival music without live shows. Normally this is the music I test at festivals, get the response, go straight back to the studio with the adrenaline and excitement from the show, polish it, and test it again.”
Admitting he used the pandemic period to unwind,” Martin states, “As much as it is a very difficult situation for so many people, it has also given me time to unwind. I had my first actual holiday in years, and I’ve got to spend so much time with my family and friends. I cherish that.”
they cannot wait to return to this point. “I’m missing touring, miss the fans, the shows, the adrenaline from being on stage. I do feel when we get back, the first shows will be insane. There’s going to be such an explosion of adrenaline, excitement, love, euphoria. I think it’s going to be beautiful,” says Garrix and includes, “ I can’t wait to go back to India.”
