[@trxsh_oc]

he was in a band called from first to last. i wish more people would ask about that more often

I'd say one of the GOATs. Comes so naturally to him when you watch him, so smooth and innovative!

the guy is a fucking monster.

[@sofarsogod]

@@subradiant_music definitely one of the goats.

[@dubpl8s.666]

the best interview ive seen so far w skrill from the grammys. asked good questions compared to the other interviewers asking the same boring questions each time.

[@lozarmusic]

Good to see u around still :D

[@Keatoil]

He sounds gay

[@Shiniobi]

Totally agree felt the same way watching this

[@Tonicwine999]

It was great, at first for some reason I 5hought this was gonna be a piss take - I'm glad it wasn't

[@teaman7v]

Funny, I was just think how tedious the interviews questioning was. Like the Norm McDonald classic "where do you get your ideas from?". Skrillex did a good job, in spite of that.

[@stinsonmusic8756]

This was such a good interview. One of the best skrillex interviews i have seen in a long time. Great questions man.

[@phoenics0912]

I feel like his last answer just gave every artist the key to success including me. This is why I respect this dude so much.

[@mukeshpathak7302]

Hey man. Can you explain more of this ? What did he really meant by saying that finding your trueself or something

[@slowmysoul]

@@mukeshpathak7302 He is telling to make own type of music without copying other artists....like he made dubstep when other genres were huge...but still he made dubsteps and found his true sound/style.

[@DJadrianvg]

22 years old and I have known him since I was 9 and he is my greatest inspiration, listening to everything he says makes me feel truly gratified

[@tdub6542]

broo samee in 21 right now, knew him since i was 10. Its crazy how skrillex matured and everything. proud of him fr

[@domanca-dk3mx]

same exactly!!

[@gabbagabber1987]

I'm 22 and I've known him since I was like 9-10 as well! I was practically raised by his music, and it's had such a massive impact on my career as an artist. I'm so happy to see that behind such great music is also a great person 💜

[@RmaNYouTube]

Give the interviewer a Grammy too 😊

[@JuanCruz-oc6po]

great questions bro. Skrillex is goated

[@aidanmcewanmusic]

Two GOATS 🔥

[@Pazaluz]

"the more you don't think about other things and how people see you and the more you find out who you are, you can train your soul in your mind to be yourself as you're creating and not try to think of anything else. that's the best. I mean success is something you attract, not something you catch. So you have to work on really being the most to yourself. you have to connect with your music, that's everything."

[@BlaxKBLK]

i swear, the shit ton amount of motivation he gave me is incredible. i fuckin love him

[@eg_raul]

So happy to see this! Skrillex is such a g

[@Neongen]

Forever one of my biggest inspirations 💜

[@rebirth4119]

One thing I notice that Skrillex doesn't do during this interview is talk about himself in the sense of being impressed about his talent/skill. Also he likes seeing people thrive so he is willing to share information freely.

[@thephilosopher7173]

Well he was forced to be humble because of the time when he was hated by those in Dubstep. So the dude had to overcome a lot.

[@rebirth4119]

@@thephilosopher7173 I wonder if he got hated more by the classic dubstep enthusiasts or the people who didn't understand musicality of electronic music(especially bass music).

[@cocazerow6580]

classic dubstep fans hated skrillex, they are the ones who put the "brostep"​ tag into skrillex's dubstep as a form of separating mainstream skrillex music from classic dubstep @rebirth4119

[@tdub6542]

@@rebirth4119 i think its both

Skrill is such a humble guy, some real wisdom drop here. Great interview and questions 👍

SKRILL IS BACK and better than ever. Quality questions and answers. Thank you for creating this and sharing this.

would love more long form or documentary on skrillex and his rise .. true goat and trailblazer

[@phliip7362]

2:56 - does anyone know anything about this Martin Dodd person?

[@zvch.s]

Wikipedia says he was the former worldwide A&R for SONY. He started in 2004 according to this article I read. Mr. Skrillex definitely had some good contacts that may have helped his career

Damn dude respect for all the questions asked,, massive respect honestly truly a great interview

[@willeditsvids]

Amazing interview! Always remarkable hearing him talk about his career and work in such a humble light. Such a great role model for upcoming producers.

[@GreenManaYo]

its nice when it seems like the interviewer actually cares about the artist he interviews. very nice interview

[@jwizdum2103]

Skrillex is honestly one of the most intricate producers of all time, his stuff is SUPER technical. I feel a lot of people don't realize how good he is, kinda like Mike Dean in that way where he really is one of the best producers/engineers of all time.

[@Ganjabeard5000]

Exchange wisdom for energy..... damn

[@DaRoyofficial]

I'm a big fan of Skrillex's approach to music, it's all about expansion and innovation not bound to any particular genre. He's the truth no wonder he's gotten so far

[@MrNachosniper]

He looks so different now. I'm used to the kid with glasses and side of the head shaved, dude had the glow up of a century XD

[@007garred6]

I didn‘t know he was one of my idols for so long. By now i just admire him. Skrillex is an incredible inspiration. I feel blessed to live in a time where i get to witness his work. Makes me wanna get better in whatever aspect of live. Of course also my own music. Thank you Sonny🙏❤️

Get an electric fly zapper in the summer and leave a microphone near to it, because hearing a fruit fly get zapped is probably one of the best snare cracks you could ever make.
