Hi guys, this is Peggy Gou here. Welcome to my Billboard cover shoot. We’re in Mexico. Right now we’re doing a shoot with Billboard. And I was playing at the festival on Sunday as well.

I believe that Koreans are very hard workers. They don’t like to waste their time. And they’re very efficient. And my team always says that about me: When efficiency is a person, it will be you. I don’t like f—ing around. I don’t like wasting my time. And that comes from Korean blood. I love this job. I take my job very seriously. And one of the things that I love about my job is that I get to tour many countries every weekend. Every weekend, I feel like I’ve learned a lot from not only the tour by meeting people, by going to the country, cities. And of course, sometimes I wake up thinking, Where was I? But I’ve been doing this since, like, 2014. So I think traveling is a big part of my life now. Someone asked me recently, what is luxury to you? And my answer was sleeping in your own bed with your own pillow. So that’s the hardest part of this job. I feel like I can’t stay in one place. Just I get bored super fast. I have so much energy. So staying in one place wouldn’t suit me. Even if I wasn’t a DJ or producer, I would still be doing something that travels. I’m back in London. We are on our way to Sydney. I’m a very visual person. Doing this job, I get to see, hear a lot of things and that inspires my visuals, colors. And also I get inspired by my supporters.
