Says
Turhan about being the opening act at the
upcoming concerts in Dubai:
“It feels surreal to be able to play alongside these well-established artists. It actually sets a benchmark as in these are the people I am opening for and look at the love they garner. This is what I also have to achieve. I take this as an opportunity to stop, ponder and realize where I am in life; that things are looking good and that I just need to keep working hard; stay humble and keep my head down; release music; play at a lot of shows and try to also achieve as much as these artists have.”
Garrix is lauded as the instinctual music genius and one of EDM’s most
prolific artists behind top chart hits "Animals", "Scared
to Be Lonely" and "In the Name of Love" which garnered a billion
