With already one of the biggest hits of last year under his belt, we sat down for a chat with ‘Waves<\/em>‘ hitmaker, Mr Probz.<\/p>\n

Netherland based artist, producer, singer, and songwriter Mr. Probz releases his second single \u2018Nothing Really Matters\u2019 <\/i>this month, following on from his multi – platinum selling debut single \u2018Waves\u2019<\/i> (Robin Schulz remix) which reached #1 in 39 countries, Top 25 in 60 countries and was named No.5 overall in the Official Charts Company\u2019s biggest selling singles of 2014. We caught up with the man himself to find out a bit more.<\/p>\n

Tell us where it all began for you \u2013 what was your initial journey into music\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Growing up I was always a fan of music but didn’t have the money to buy records so I always hung around record stores and listened to all the albums through the store’s headphones\u00a0until I knew them buy heart. Back then I never pictured myself to be a performer though. When I started writing it was more of a outlet that just grew into something that I could see myself doing for ever.<\/p>\n

and getting signed?<\/b><\/p>\n

I never signed an artist deal. My label has a licensing deal with Sony\/Ultra for ”Waves” and we recently decided to take it a step further and collaborate on my first official debut album.<\/p>\n

How does your hometown and the Netherlands compare to cities like London and NY for example, for it\u2019s music culture?<\/b><\/p>\n

Apples and pears, I guess. There’s always some things that might be an excess in one place and might be missing in the other. Apart from the fashion and the people there’s always something in the air wherever I go. It’s hard to put in words.<\/p>\n
