DJANETOP: Hello dear MATTN! We are so pleased that you accepted invitation to give interview to our site. Let’s start! When and how did you start your DJ career?
MATTN: I started my DJ career about 4 years ago. I always have been very passionate about music and during my teenager years, I admired looking at DJ’s playing in clubs and at festivals, so when I finished my school, I just had a feeling I really wanted to take my love for DJing to a serious level and started practicing every day every hour every second for one year straight
( and I’m still learning and practicing every day :)) )
DJANETOP: Who was your tutor of djing?
MATTN: I have a lot of friends that are DJ and they tutored me, for example DJ Makasi, DJ Amro, Nexuz.
DJANETOP: Try to remember your first gig. When and where did it take place? Did you nervous a lot before playing your first DJ set ever?
MATTN: My first DJ set ever was at a local small gathering afterparty for a sports competition in
DJANETOP: How did you get acquainted to your future husband Dimitri Vegas? Where did it happen? Please share your romantic story.
MATTN: I met Dimitri in Ibiza, because I was invited by their manager to play a set at their House of Madness parties in
DJANETOP: Did it cost Dimitri a great deal to hear such a precious “Yes” from you?
MATTN: When Dimi asked me to marry him, I felt like the luckiest girl in the whole wide world, so my ‘YES’ was pretty obvious :D!
DJANETOP: The video from your wedding is one of the most beautiful we have ever seen. You are very beautiful couple. You wedding took place at Ibiza, why had you chosen this place but not

DJANETOP: Your couple is very interesting. Both you and Dmitri are TOP DJs with armies of fans all over the world. Tell us if you tour with gigs together more often than one by one?

It's really magical and even before I became a DJ I went to the festival just to party and have fun, so to realize I became a part of this amazing festival is so great and I can't tell you enough how grateful I am for this amazing opportunity. The crowd at Tomorrowland is so energetic, is so full of appreciation, is so full of happiness and good vibes.
