Ibiza like a second home for DJ
Voted by fans as DJ Mag’s No. 1 DJ in the world, Martin Garrix was also handpicked last summer to be the face of Armani Exchange. Some of his collaborations include “Scared to Be Lonely” with Dua Lipa and “So Far Away” with David Guetta. Asked what he enjoys most about working with other artists, Garrix, 21, said, “I love to see how everyone works with music in a different way. I think for every artist, it’s interesting to see how someone else is working. Lana Del Rey is still on my wish list for collaborations, and I would love to go into the studio with Shawn Mendes.”
An edited version of our conversation follows. are The Duchess and FIKO Amsterdam
FIKO Amsterdam has the best pizza and pasta. At The Duchess, you have to order the beef Wellington!
A: My first show outside of the Netherlands was on Ibiza. It was in a small club with 15 people on the dance floor, but it was such an amazing experience!
A: One of my current favorite artists is Post Malone. I saw him at Paradiso Amsterdam. It’s a very iconic venue in Amsterdam, and I also had the honor to do a show there. One of my favorite festivals is still Coachella, where I performed (in 2017). I love the vibe there and that everyone who visits is really open-minded about music.
A: I figured that when I’m visiting a place, it’s important to know where I am. I always try to see as much as I can. I love exploring different countries and cultures. I always try to do fun activities between traveling and shows.
