“At what moment did you look out at the crowd and say wow I’m big? I do that every time I play”

An unexpected response from Grammy award-nominated dj and producer steve aoki.

Aoki, who has won awards for his skills on the turntables, entertained mega crowds and has a following of more than 11 million followers on Instagram alone, also holds a degree in sociology and women’s studies.

He told me that despite his studious qualifications, the desire to pursue music pulsated through his veins.

“I lived a double life when I was in college I was playing in bands making music producing music being in the music world and then I was academic I was an academia and then I had to make a decision when I finished my undergrad what I was going to do and I was like music is just calling me too much.”

On Friday night, Aoki made his second appearance in less than a year at Aura nightclub at Atlantis Paradise Island.

The venue was packed with guest from around the world battling with their camera phones to capture a glimpse of the EDM sensation.

Aoki told me he is always thrilled to come to the Bahamas, and his reason.
