Skrillex Speech
Upon receiving the award, Skrillex, also known as Sonny Moore, had a valuable message for aspiring artists:
“Anybody young out there who wants to make music, or artists, the best advice I ever got was, Success is something that you attract, not something that you try to chase or catch”.
“The other thing I wanna say is, for all the young people and everyone out here — I know the world is crazy right now — I really hope that we can actually start listening to each other and that everyone on the other side of the aisle, or anyone on a different perspective, we realise that they’re not enemies and I really hope we can start listening to each other and having conversations”.
Skrillex concluded his speech by expressing gratitude to his fellow artists, specifically mentioning Fred Again.. and Flowdan. He praised Flowdan as one of the biggest inspirations in underground music and expressed his joy in creating music with his best friends. Skrillex emphasized that their focus was not on creating chart-topping hits, but on pushing culture forward. He dedicated the Grammy award to them.
