Calvin Harris, one of the most well-known DJs, was part of an impromptu Twitter Q&A session yesterday. Answering questions about his future in music, fans may be surprised to see where his road is taking him.
The takeaways? Harris is moving away from EDM. The genre which brought him to fame has changed, and he doesn’t believe he shared anything with it anymore. Recently, he has been doing a successful series of collaborations with artists such as Sam Smith and Dua Lipa. While he will one day go back to music festivals, he will no longer do any live music performances, as he begins a new music chapter in his life.
Read the Twitter Q&As below:
On EDM and his future with its music:
EDM has been sad, slow songs for years now. Doesn’t have anything in common with the music I love to make. 2010-2014 edm was more house influenced to me. Anyway now I’m out the bubble and making big records with amazing singers that sound like house music to me… 🤷🏼♂️ https://t.co/D3UQc8vWFx

On live music performances:
No way I’m 34 now
Yes basically was trying to be like LCD and Mylo ended up worse than both but I improved with time 😉 https://t.co/GZRT12mjkQ— Calvin Harris (@CalvinHarris) November 12, 2018
His final answer was about music theory, and how he learned. For aspiring DJs and producers everywhere, as well as for fans who love to know, this was a great end to the thread:
I learned from listening to a lot of it. Music theory always feels (to me) like trying to explain something magical that often happened by accident after the fact and takes the soul away from it. I’m also a bit stupid so it’s probably a bit of that too https://t.co/jau37ANAvI
