Martin Garrix: Many people claim that I’m their BFF

Martin Garrix reveals in an interview how he deals with false people

The Dutch DJ had his international breakthrough with the song “Animals” in 2013. He has already worked with superstars like Avicii, Ed Sheeran, Usher, Justin Bieber etc.

Even as a child Martin dreams of major success – today he plays around the world and meets the biggest stars.

I’m often still nervous when I’m working with a star. When I was in the studio with Usher, I thought: OMG! Usher sits right next to me! What am I doing here? It was so unreal!

But the huge success as a musician has not just advantages.

Many people with whom I had nothing to do earlier, suddenly claim that I’m their BFF. But I ignore them. I have a few good friends with whom I’m very close. They know me since I’m small. When I spend time with them, I’m Martijn Garritsen and not the DJ Martin Garrix! This is very important to me.
