"When
I
decided
to
become
a
DJ,
there
was
no
money
or
fame
in
this
line
of
work.
I
was
ready
to
risk
and
sacrifice
my
life
just
because
I
wanted
to
do
something
I
really
enjoyed
and
I've
been
lucky
because
it
became
huge.
To
be
willing
to
take
those
risks,
you
have
to
work
with
passion
and
give
your
100
percent," says
David
Guetta
to

Excerpts
from
the
exclusive
chat
with
one
of
the
most
followed
and
loved
music
people
of
our
times,
David
Guetta.
You've
said
that
during
this
time
of
isolation,
you've
been
incredibly
inspired
to
release
music
that
has
an
uplifting
energy.
Do
you
feel
music
has
the
power
to
heal?
What
were
the
thoughts
in
your
mind
while
creating
Let's
Love?
This
time
is
difficult
for
all
of
us.
It's
been
over
six
months
since
the
world
has
been
brought
to
its
knees
by
the
pandemic.
Living
in
isolation
is
hard,
which
is
why
we
wanted
to
do
something
that
gave
people
hope
and
spread
love.
We
want
to
remind
people
that
it's
a
hard
time
for
everyone
and
we
need
to
come
together
instead
of
playing
the
blame
game
or
turning
against
each
other.
You
have
had
the
most
successful
musical
partnership
with
the
incredible
artist
Sia,
with
eight
collaborations
and
record-breakers
like
Titanium,
Flames,
She
Wolf,
and
now
Let's
Love.
What
is
it
about
Sia
the
artist
that
inspires
you
to
create
chartbusters
together
that
are
still
on
people's
playlists
years
later?
I
love
working
with
Sia.
She
is
crazy
talented,
not
only
is
her
voice
absolutely
incredible,
she
is
also
a
really
talented
songwriter.
I
asked
her
if
she
wanted
to
create
another
song
with
me,
because
I
felt
like
the
world
needed
more
feel-good
music.
Sia
actually
wrote
Let's
Love
in
less
than
24
hours!
Titanium
changed
both
of
our
lives,
Sia
became
even
more
successful
but
she
always
stayed
very
loyal
to
me
and
I
appreciate
that
a
lot.
You've
produced
the
iconic
I
Gotta
Feeling
with
The
Black
Eyed
Peas,
and
also
collaborated
with
Lady
Gaga,
Rihanna,
Britney
Spears,
Pitbull,
Kelly
Rowland
and
Nicky
Minaj,
among
others.
Who
are
the
other
artists
you
would
want
to
make
music
together
with?
Morten!
(DJ
Morten
Breum)
He's
a
great
producer
and
someone
I
love
to
work
with.
I
think
Joel
Corry
is
definitely
one
to
watch
as
well!
Going
back
to
the
beginning
of
your
career,
what
attracted
you
to
DJing
and
later
EDM
and
house
music?
When
I
decided
to
become
a
DJ,
there
was
no
money
or
fame
in
this
line
of
work.
I
was
ready
to
risk
and
sacrifice
my
life
just
because
I
wanted
to
do
something
I
really
enjoyed
and
I've
been
lucky
because
it
became
huge.
To
be
willing
to
take
those
risks,
you
have
to
work
with
passion
and
give
your
100
percent.
Were
you
always
into
EDM
and
some
Pop
music?
What
is
the
first
song
you
made?
Have
you
ever
made
a
pure
ballad
or
plan
to?
A
lot
of
people
know
my
first
song
as
being
Just
a
Little
More
Love,
but
the
real
first
one
is
actually
a
hip-hop
record.
At
the
end
of
the
'80s,
I
was
a
hip-hop
DJ
and
doing
DMC-style
scratching
competitions.
I
did
a
tour
in
France
and
the
contest
was
battles
of
rappers
and
the
idea
was
for
Island
Records
to
sign
rappers.
This
is
like,
1989.
I
would
DJ
and
scratch,
and
people
would
rap
on
the
top.
What
happened
is
that
this
was
such
a
success,
when
I
came
back
from
the
summer
tour
Island
was
like,
'You
need
to
make
a
record.'
I
was
like,
'I
don't
know
if
I
can
make
a
record.'
They
put
me
in
the
studio,
and
I
had
no
idea
what
I
was
doing.
I
did
manage
to
do
something
with
this
French
rapper.
If
you
want
to
have
a
good
laugh,
go
to
YouTube
and
search
'Nation
Rap'.
It's
really
hilarious.
How
and
where
have
you
spent
time
in
the
pandemic?
Apart
from
creating
music,
have
you
learnt
anything
new
in
this
period?
A
new
hobby?
The
lockdown
has
been
a
very
productive
period
for
me.
It
gave
me
a
chance
to
really
focus
on
my
music;
at
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic
I
was
working
on
new
music
almost
everyday.
I
also
loved
spending
more
time
with
my
kids,
it
actually
was
my
first
summer
staying
at
home
with
my
family.
So
the
whole
situation
definitely
allowed
me
to
spend
more
time
producing
but
also
to
enjoy
my
family.
