Katy is pictured here at the BRIT Awards , switching up her look to a some-what two-toned blonde style. Switching it up even further, Katy went even blonder and opted for a shorter cut - and it's safe to say she worked it. With hoop earrings and short blonde hair, she served some serious looks at Paris Fashion Week! Taken on 4th July in Paris, France. With her hair swept over, Katy looked truly beautiful whilst giving a speech at the Human Rights Campaign on 18th March Playing around with her blonde hair a little more, Katy continued to look incredible in !
Katy was seriously rocking the retro look at an awards ceremony in Philadelphia in March , with some super cute retro curls and a black hairband. Just like the entire world, Katy was unable to get to the hairdressers between April-July, as the world went into lockdown due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
This didn't stop her looking amazing though, rocking this cute headband whilst on video chats. Whilst amping up excitement on her Instagram for a new episode of American Idol, Katy debuted her brand new brunette hair-do, and we are obsessed. The new hairstyle sparked fans to reminisce over her 'I Kissed a Girl' days, back in What I mean is that you can have a huge career like him without hits, and this is what I've been doing in the two last years, and my demand went up incredibly, because my sound was not only credible, but also influential again in my community in terms of inspiring other DJs and producers.
Nothing But The Beat was maybe the peak of my career on a pop level, but after that I was not as happy as before, and I was not as happy as I am now. I think Avicii went through this, and I think probably every big artist that goes to No. It's like the biggest achievement of your life, but at the same time, happiness is more about the journey than about the destination. So when you're there, you like, "OK, and now what?
It was kind of a reset this year for me. I've done a kind of a reset of everything, and I feel like I'm in a new dynamic of that whole journey again. It's fantastic, and it's very successful, so it's very exciting. I feel 20 years old again. It's interesting what you're saying about Future Rave reestablishing you in the dance music community, after your previous successes had pushed you so far into pop.
All the other big DJs started to -- I can say copy and it's not even insulting, because I embrace it -- copy this sound that we created. It's amazing, because for me, pop success is very important, but I was always in dance music because dance music was a reaction to pop music. When I started to be a DJ, it was because I didn't want to play or listen to what was on the radio, I wanted to create my own message.
I wanted to create my own style. So for me, being able to do this again is as important as having "Titanium," you know? You mentioned selling your catalog. Why was this the right time to do that? Well, it's honestly really crazy, because I had no idea it had so much value.
I kept my masters, just because I'm a very organized person and I like controlling every aspect of my work. I was never signed as an artist; it was always a license deal since day one, because I would deliver a final product to the company, but I didn't even want the record label to be able to even pick the singles. I don't know if you noticed, or you probably know because you work at Billboard , but a lot of big investment funds are heavily investing in buying catalogs.
I had no idea, and I was approached by one of those funds with a huge number and was like, "Huh? I just happened to own my masters almost by accident.
When they gave that number, I told my partner who does all the business for me, like, "Look around a little bit and see. This is crazy. So it was good, because I haven't been able to tour for a year-and-a-half, so I could still buy some new sneakers. Oh no, it took us like, a year of negotiation. But again, for me, I'm so confident in the future that I'm really not scared to do that. There was a speech for the entire group of executives around the world; we did a big Zoom call with 50 people or something, and I was like, "See you in seven years for the next one.
I love it. Yeah, I mean, amazing place. Amazing place. Of course, in 20 years, I've been through ups and downs, and yeah, I'm in one of the best places I've been, because I feel as excited as when I started. I feel super creative. I feel culturally relevant in my community, which is very important for me. The difference is that this time, I don't have to worry about how am I going to pay my rent if it doesn't work.
It's amazing to be able to feel creative, feel inspired, make new music, take risks, but at the same time, it's an easy risk because you know you're going to eat anyways. Search term.

A decade after releasing the genre-defining hit, the dance superstar reflects on why he was nervous to release "Titanium," the backlash to his George Floyd tribute, selling his catalog and why he's feeling so optimistic about the future.
Artists Mentioned. How so? I don't want to say that the dance scene is the opposite of reality, but things have been so -- No, it is! Sure, and you can label that as escapist, but connection is also a human necessity. Did you know it was going to be such a massive hit when you were making it? Have you found yourself?
How does that feel for you? I mean, when you get a number like that, is it just an automatic 'yes'?
