Alesso gained recognition from established industry artists like Avicii, David Guetta, Erick Morillo, Groove Armada, and others with the release of his Alesso EP in 2010. In early 2011, Sebastian Ingrosso of Swedish House Mafia contacted Alesso and asked if he wanted to work together.Sebastian Ingrosso introduced him to DJing and helped him with the production of tracks. Since that time, Sebastian Ingrosso has acted as a mentor for Alesso.
We got a chance to interview him before he plays at EDC India 2016. Check out the full interview below:
1.So this is your second visit to India after your last visit in 2013, so what do you expect from Indian ravers and what memories do you carry from the 2013 tour?
IT’S A CROWD UNLIKE ANY OTHER. THE FANS IN INDIA ARE SO PASSIONATE. I’M EXCITED TO BE BACK, IT IS MUCH OVERDUE!
2.You have a huge fan base here in India and fans have been waiting for so long for you to come back. So is there anything special in store for them ?
MY SHOW HAS DRASTICALLY CHANGED SINCE 2013 AND EVEN OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS. I’M PROUD OF WHAT IT IS TODAY AND HOPE MY FANS IN INDIA FEEL THE SAME WAY AFTER SEEING IT.
3.We all know you call Sebastian Ingrosso your “Big Brother”, so how much do you credit him & ‘Swedish House Mafia’ for your success now?
SEB IS DEFINETLY LIKE FAMILY AND TOOK ME UNDER HIS WING. SOME OF MY VERY FIRST SHOWS WERE OPENING UP FOR SHM AND IM FOREVER GRATEFUL. BUT I’VE ALSO WORKED VERY HARD ON KEEPING A NAME FOR MYSELF IN THIS BUSINESS FOR OVER 6 YEARS AND ALL I CAN SAY IS HARD WORK DEFINTELY PAYS OFF.
4.Are you working on a collaboration with Sebastian Ingrosso or any of the ex ‘Swedish House Mafia’ members?
NOT CURRENTLY
5.From being a bedroom producer to headlining almost all the major festivals in the world, many sold out shows and being nominated for Grammy’s, how do you define your success which you have today?
I’M SO THANKFUL WITH WHERE MY CAREER AND MUSIC IS AT TODAY. MY SUCCESS IS REALLY DUE TO THE FANS. THEY HAVE SUPPORTED ME THROUGHOUT THE YEARS AND STAY BY MY SIDE THROUGH NEW SOUNDS AND NEW MUSIC AS I CONTINUE TO GROW AS AN ARTIST. THANKS TO YOU GUYS!
