They are super strict in America, but besides that it's a creative industry - age is just a number. They would pick me up from my hotel room, start my intro when I was outside the club, I would DJ, they would escort me out and then back to the room. No drinks, they would clear the entire DJ booth. Until I was 21 - and I just turned 21 last year - I wasn't allowed to be in the club. The only thing that I had troubles with was - for example - when I did a show in Las Vegas. Now I'm actually OK, everyone knows I'm behind my own stuff. I was pissed so I started doing all these tutorials, all these masterclasses and stuff to prove it really was me making the music. The first thing I received after 'Animals' was all these comments like, 'Yeah, he doesn't make his own music' or 'he's fabricated'. MG: People don't take you really seriously. Do you think there's difficulties in being famous so young? GQ: Martin you've achieved such success at a young age. There's millions of competitors, whereas when I started it was such a small movement, we were just a bunch of friends around the world that liked this music. But now, young artists have more competition because every single teenager wants to be a football player or a DJ. This music was so underground when I started it, so you really needed to build-up your career over years, there was no social media. **DG: **OK so, let's say it's a shorter, but does it mean it's easier? I don't think so. Do you think it's easier or more difficult for young artists like Martin to try and break through now? You must have seen the music industry change quite a bit since. GQ: David, it's been 15 years since the release of your first big hit. We have to do a session together.' So we did a lot of sessions together and now we have two songs. We started emailing and he was like, 'Yo. **DG: **I remember that, you were a baby I swear. We met during Amsterdam Dance Event and then. That already gave me enough inspiration to go back in the studio and work more. David was one of the first people to begin testing it out live and I just remember looking up the videos on the internet, seeing him playing it live and being like, 'Oh my God'. He was one of the first guys who played out a song I did six years ago called 'BFAM' with Julian Jordan - it's a very old song. I send him songs, he gives feedback and helps with anything. GQ: So Martin, would you say that you see David as a mentor? MG: One day in Miami, I came to say hello to David at his boat dock when I was in the area on a yacht. **GQ: So you've been working together for a long time.

MG: We want to work on a full collaborative project. It took us time, but now we have two in a row. People don't necessarily understand that we need to spend hours and hours and multiple sessions to finally end up with something good. But the reality is, as least for me, I do 100 rubbish songs that stay in my hard drive, then I put one out. **DG: **The thing is that because Martin has a pretty big name and I'm doing okay, people always tell us, 'you only come with hits'. Then with 'Like I Do', both songs sound like us. There's a lot of rough ideas and then we started with 'So Far Away', it was a song where we both thought, 'Wow, this vocal is amazing'. We actually played a song that we've never released before at Ultra, but we wanted to wait for the right song at the right time. We've always had so many ideas going back and forth. **MG: **I think we got introduced to each other at a festival and then just hung out at the studio. Martin Garrix: Actually, we've been in the studio for the last four or five years.Дavid Guetta: It's been a very long process.
