Hugel talks about his career path at Tomorrowland Winter
French phenomenon Hugel shares how he rebuilt his career from scratch, why copying trends won’t get you far, and what goes into making a track that works worldwide.
Tomorrowland Academy is releasing multiple interviews with well-known artists, recorded at Tomorrowland Winter 2025. One that definitely stands out is an intimate moment with French DJ and producer, Hugel. The educational platform of Tomorrowland sat down with him to talk about the difficulties of rebranding your profile, reading crowds in clubs and at festivals, and how to make the biggest hits by ignoring standard music rules.
It's the perfect interview about daily artist struggles, combined with personal tips & tricks for upcoming artists to take notes from.
"Don't forget that everything you see on social media is like cinema. If you want to become a DJ for the private jet, the hotels ... It's wrong. You won't feel good and you won't make it. It's important to remember that Dj'ing is art. It's something that you're supposed to do with your heart and soul, something that should make you feel better when you're at it."
- Hugel
Other videos contain artists like Lost Frequencies, Netsky, Joris Voorn and more.
