S dirig from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest.

There might not be another mainstream djay on Earth as eclectic a catalog of hits as French, Algerian extraordinary DJ Snake, who's given us everything from let Me Love You with Justin Bieber to Turn Down for What, from Little John to disco mcgreb, which infuses Algerian music. But his sonic diversity isn't some conscious decision. It's simply that he'd be bored stiff any other way, he tells Billboard. When you're in music, your art has to be solid, it has to touch people. There has to be emotion, but it has to connect with the audience. I don't understand artists who make the same song every time they have a hit with something, then they make five follow ups with the same rhythm, the same guitar. I'd go crazy. That's why I always need to reinvent myself and offer something different. That's the words a DJ snake whose ability to harness the sounds of music worldwide might have something to do with his global popularity. That said, nowhere is he as beloved as in his native country.
