- *
For over a decade, DJ Alle Farben, better known for his full name Frans Zimmer (39), has been making waves in the music industry. However, this past year he shared news of a serious accident, leaving fans wondering about his future plans. In an exclusive interview with Spot on News, Alle Farben talks about his recovery, future aspirations, and more.
A Decade of Success in the Music Industry - What's It Like?
AF: It's quite exhilarating, really. (laughs) I've been making music for 21 years - 11 of those years have been quite successful. The perks of this career are incredible. Playing at big festivals, collaborating with top artists, and traveling the world - it's all amazing. But let's face it, you don't get to the top without working hard. It's tough to maintain the momentum, but it's a dream come true.
Staying Grounded in Success
AF: Keeping myself grounded is all about having great people around me. My friends and colleagues bring me down to earth when I start feeling too big for my boots. I've had the same friends for decades, and I'm grateful for that. In the end, I'm just a regular guy who cooks with water. Whether I run into renowned musicians or kindergarten kids, we're all equal.
Evolution of His Music
AF: I'm going through a sort of musical revival. With my latest single, "Flowers," I'm returning to my roots - not just in terms of sound but also working with the artists who've been on board from the beginning. It's a labor of love. We've been on stage together for 11 years now, and that kind of camaraderie is priceless.
Personal Growth and Creativity
AF: Life can be a rollercoaster, and I've had my share of ups and downs. In the beginning, I was overwhelmed by the attention and expectations. Over time, I learned to follow my instincts. Being a DJ isn't just about spinning tunes, it's about entertaining people - giving them a memorable experience.
Stage Fright and Imperfections
AF: Adrenaline never lets me completely kick back. I've never found a way to totally conquer stage fright, but I've learned that it's part of the experience. I don't get too worked up about mishaps anymore. I joke around with my team and make it a part of the show. We're not robots - we're humans, and we sometimes stumble.
Dealing with Criticism and Critics
AF: Criticism doesn't get to me much, but it did in the past. I learned to tune it out, focusing instead on the support I receive from my fans and loved ones. There are always going to be haters, but I don't let them deter me from what I believe in.
Collaborations and Favorite Songs
AF: My favorite collaborator is Graham Candy. We've been through thick and thin together. Pharrell Williams is an artist I'd love to collaborate with in the future. My personal favorite song is "Bad Ideas" - it never fails to pump me up.
Life Beyond Music
AF: Besides my passion for music, I love to cook and indulge in sports. Cooking became a more serious pursuit during the pandemic, and now I even have a cooking channel online. It's been a great outlet for my creativity.
Overcoming Obstacles - An Accident and Its Aftermath
AF: The support of my friends, family, and team has helped me deal with the aftermath of the accident. It was heartening to see the positivity and encouragement I received during this challenging time. I'm looking forward to the upcoming festival season, knowing that I've got this incredible team behind me, making every show possible.
