Jay Hardway joins us for this installment of TAKE 5. He talks about his latest festival anthem “SOLID,” and a few other things:

Hello Jay Hardway! It was GREAT seeing you in Miami. Tell us about your latest project.
SOLID is my latest track and I actually made it during a tutorial I did for 789ten.com. In the tutorial I was asked to start a track from scratch, so I did, and the end result is Solid. I was inspired by Sky and Sand by Paul Kalkbrenner for the break and the melody has a bit of trance influences in there. I think this is a typical Jay Hardway melody and I’m very happy with the end result.

What is the craziest thing one of your fans has ever done for you?
I have several drawings of me by one of my biggest fans from Switzerland, Emma, and the drawings are so realistic. It really means a lot to me that someone takes the effort, just because they like my music.

Will you share an personal life goal with us?
Personal life goal for me is to have a family and to inspire others with my music and my way of thinking. I think inspiring other people is one of the most accomplishing things to reach in life!

Tell us something interesting about you that nobody knows.
We all have our secrets and if I tell you now, it won’t be a secret any more haha! (boo!)

 Name an American musician that you would like to work with someday.
Post Malone. Great artists with an amazing talent and voice and he seems like a really cool genuine guy.
