00:00Twitch has been doing amazing and so much fun.

00:03Has this been such a fun platform for you to kind of perform and introduce to a new audience?

00:06Oh yeah, I mean, I started with Twitch when they asked to record the very first DJ set live.

00:13Okay.

00:13That was like 10 years ago, over 10 years, yeah, in Ibiza.

00:16So they flew out to Ibiza just to do this.

00:18And since then, I mean, music is a big platform on Twitch.

00:22So I've done tons of DJ sets on Twitch.

00:24I'm also a gamer.

00:25So I always just like, you know, press record and like go live on Twitch.

00:31I was just live on Twitch two days ago.

00:32So like I've been a Twitcher for over 10 years, you know?

00:36Yeah, it's a big part of like, you know, how I engage with my fans and like, you know, connect with my fans.

00:43Definitely.

00:43I know you were just at Stagecoach.

00:45You worked with Backstreet Boys, right?

00:46Did you introduce them and you guys did a song together?

00:49How much fun was that?

00:50Oh, Stagecoach was awesome.

00:52It was one of the best festivals.

00:53It was actually my first time at Stagecoach.

00:54I played Coachella like 15 years ago and I was like, why would they book Beaver Stagecoach?

01:00But I actually have country collaborations.

01:03So it was a perfect year for me because I'm like releasing tons of country records.

01:08So, I mean, country, EDM is now finally coming together in a big way.

01:13I think Diplo has been a big part of that, obviously.

01:15And it was refreshing.

01:17That festival is absolutely incredible.

01:19So cool.

01:20And you have big changes in your life coming up.
