Diplo

And she was kind of like, I don't really get this kind of music.

It was her first dance record she wrote, but it was...

Her manager, David, told me the story.

She was just a writer.

And she was like, I don't want to sing this song.

And he was like, didn't tell her.

He told David to put her on the song.

And then the song came out.

And she was like, why am I on this song?

And her manager was like, trust me.

You can fire me, but you had to be on this song.

And so that was one instance where a manager... I think she really accepted her stardom from that record.

She never wanted to be...

in front of the camera she didn't want to be a superstar but that record was like damn people loved her you know and then she had a crazy career she had like five years of just insane music but she'd come to my studio after that and was like i just did this song i was like that's pretty good um i don't get it like but like i wouldn't play that record but of course i play it all the time but uh we made like a crazy dubstep record that day that

Ends up being kind of big for Rusko.

Rusko was my first kind of big artist I signed to my label.

And he had a really good career.

Kind of brought...

fun into dubstep i think he was uh the gen even skrillex i think kind of came around the same time but he was like heavy and mean and rusco was like wonky and funny so i was like this is kind of more this is work we'll work a little bit that's why i stick it like that anyway back to beyonce i was like i know this girl named sia she's like i'll bring her to the studio so we had her over there to new york and she was like hanging out and i did like two days

With Beyonce, we finished Run the World, did some other stuff.
