Billboard Dance spoke with afrojack about his Grammy-nominated collaborative single 'Hero' with David Guetta.
by Afrojack’s Wall Recordings last May, the duo also just kind of… forgot to submit it to the Recording Academy.
“I don’t know if it’s legal to like, make fake Grammy plaques,” says van de Wall, “but they say, ‘Wall Recordings Presents,’ so it was fun.”It started in Los Angeles, when I was in the studio with Stargate and they played me the a cappella already written by Ellie Goulding, Ryan Tedder and Jamie Scott, sang by Ellie Goulding. I was like, “Wow, I think this could be big.” I started messing around, sent it to friends, we got some demos, started working on it with David. It was all digital.
The collection of tracks nominated this year is really sonically diverse, from EDM to IDM to rave to dance pop. What’s your take on quite disparate styles of dance music competing against each other in the same category?
