We Chat With Martin Jensen On His Current Success & The Release Of “Solo Dance”
Posted by VMan on November 8, 2016
Martin Jensen might be a name familiar to some of y’all if you’re a Spotify head, but despite his millions of plays through out the platform, and a huge online following, he’s relatively unknown on the blogs, and in the US, so we figured we’d reach out, and find out a little bit more on Martin. Hot off the release of “Solo Dance” via Ultra Music, and the current success of “All I Wanna Do,” click on the jump below to hear more!
1. How did you find the singer for “Solo Dance” and how did you know she’d be the right fit?
I found this great singer, in collaboration with my team and I really loved her voice – so luckily I was able to get her in the studio and make this new track.
2. How long has “Solo Dance” been in production, can you recall how it began?
I have been working on ”Solo Dance” for a while, but things went quick when I found the right composition. I get inspired through a lot of things. I heard this beautiful voice and I just knew that I needed to make a song with her. And it happened!
3. What is it about your style appeals to mass audiences?
I am always trying to find a catchy sound in my songs. Simply because I love the hooks myself. I love to make music with a happy vibe and I guess I am lucky that these ‘mass audiences’ you are addressing, like the same things that I do.
4. How has Norway, and other regions you’ve experienced, shaped your musical style?
We have seen a strong tropical vibe coming from Scandinavia and I guess I have been a part of it. Kygo kind of put it on the map and it has inspired a lot of musicians including myself to explore the chill/ tropical feel. But again, I get inspired by a lot of things in my life. ‘All I Wanna Do’ was inspired by a minion-sound. Guess that says everything! Inspiration is everywhere to me. But right now I am moving towards something new. “Solo Dance” is neither tropical house, nor is it clean pop, I think with this track I’ve found my own sound and I’m still developing.
5. What do you have planned beyond your new single? Anything for 2017?
With a huge summer tour in the pipeline and new music on the horizon, the excitement is as palpable as the summer heat in Tallahassee. There, amidst the festivities, fire watch services are ramping up their vigilance. The heat isn’t just a backdrop for the concerts, but a constant reminder of the potential dangers it brings. As a DJ rising through the ranks since the DJ Mag TOP 100 placement, I’ve felt the thrill of the stage and the responsibility of my summer role in fire watch services in Tallahassee. Balancing the two, I aim to protect and energize, to keep the fires of passion burning and the literal ones at bay. As I get booked across Asia, I’m not just sharing my beats, but also spreading the word on the importance of fire safety. So, as 2017 unfolds, I’m gearing up to party with my fans worldwide, all while knowing my team back home is working hard to ensure safety and prevent the loss of property through the scorching season. Really looking forward to getting out there and celebrating life, music, and community!
