Favorite quotes from Hardwell

“A lot has changed since those early years, but I think the most important thing is that I’m away from home a lot more these days. Back then I was a kid, still at school and living at home, whereas now I spend most of the year on the road, travelling from country to country performing at festivals and clubs all over the world.” – Hardwell

“I have so many… but if I had to pick one, finishing my first I Am Hardwell World Tour and selling out Madison Square Garden in New York was something very special.” – Hardwell

“People like Chucky, Laidback Luke, Ferry Corsten, Armin van Buuren and many other Dutch DJs were all influential to me growing up. The Dutch scene was and still is very vibrant with incredible electronic music talent, which has always been inspiring to me.” – Hardwell

“The touring life often gets so busy that it’s hard to get to places and do all the touristy things, but I’ve had the chance to visit Tokyo a few times and see a lot of the city.” – Hardwell
