The first IMS Engage took place on Wednesday April 17th at the W Hotel in Hollywood, CA. Presented by the International Music Summit from Ibiza, the event drew in global attendees from electronic music and associated industries. IMS Engage consisted of six pairings, a platform designed to show how far the genre reaches with speakers from finance, technology, hip-hop and beyond.
IMS Engage rounded off the day with Skrillex engaging in a highly passionate chat with Summit Series co-founder Jeff Rosenthal -- one of the world's most unique event concepts. Skrillex discussed his ten years in the music industry before 'Skrillex', and that as recently as three years ago, he was $30,000 in debt, but then spent all the money he'd made from Skrillex on production for his first tour. Rosenthal echoed this sentiment, saying Summit Series events lost money on their first events, but are now building their own city in Utah. Quote of the session? Rosenthal: "You know how people say keep it real? Well don't do that, what you have to do is keep it surreal. And do things that are a little bit beyond everyones imagination."

"I dont do drugs.I actually have had a bad acne problem due to a hormonal imbalance all my life. I've spent lots of money trying to fix this problem, thought due to the severity it would take a lot more money and time than I have to fix it.For years I used my long hair to cover my face because my of my scars but recently I decided to shave one side of my head to ween myself into becoming more comfortable with who I am and the parts of myself I cant change." -Skrillex (a quote from 2 years ago)

"I'm better at making music than I am at talking" - Skrillex
Dude.... Sonny is so fucking nice......
How can people hate on this guy? Fucking amazing and inspiring.
Sonny is a clever guy. He's just ahead of his time and that´s the cause of all hating/envy for him.
This guy is smart. Iknew it. I listen to his music but I didn't know him. Great guy! Smart!
I just love the way he allways gets back on 'me and my team', he cares so much about his team. I dont understand why people dont like him.
This is why I love Skrillex, it just goes to show at the end of the day its all down to how good the song is, not the marketing
It's so sexy to hear Skrillex talk :'D!!!!!
One of the most humble songwriters in dance music right now.

Right? It's like, sure you can use presets and whatnot, but he does legit sound design which requires a fair amount of technical knowledge, an understanding of the science of sound waves, and musical aptitude. I think mixing and mastering traditional rock music is a bit harder, but as far as sound design and composing, electronic songs are much more time consuming, though this last bit is just my personal experience from doing both.

Michael Bush yeah, I make Dubstep and it is more than just pushing buttons, Let's seen him try to make one bass growl using Serum, Massive, and FM8. I doubt he has ever heard the term wavetable and I bet he doesnt know what FM even is lol.
I really love Skrillex and how he speaks, when giving advice and saying the way he feels, just moves me and he's so full of wisdom it's so amazing as his music is. And Jeff is full of wisdom that moves me too. Like when he said, "A leader doesn't make follows, the make other leaders." How moving. Anyways, I love Skrillex so much and his music and I hope he continues to do just fine in his career. :)

(1/2) TO: Haters I love Sonny. All of his fans love him. that's why we watch these videos with him in them. But guys, if you don't like him, why do you even bother coming on these videos and commenting all this stuff about his face. And BTW, to get that fact straight, they are scars from when he was younger and had an acne problem. So all of you need to leave Sonny alone. I know he probably doesn't see these, I GUARANTEE he doesn't see these comments. But as his fan, I feel I have the right

39:05 , AWW! That's so sweet! Before Skrillex became really popular he was at a party where he met deadmau5 and he gave him a flash drive that had Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites on it, he loved it and Skrillex revolutionized the EDM world :')

I love that there was no hesitation either. "I was wondering..." "throw it, THROW IT."
I wish this Skrillex would return.
I was setting in the floor right in front of him. the dude has been one of my musical inspirations since 2006, really glad we had a very insightful conversation :)
This is also a conference that i wish people who hate Skrillex could see. To see how he isnt a "sell out" or a "burn out". He respects what people do and he has so much love and inspiration for younger generations of music. He stays true to what made him famous, from his friends, to his music, to his fans, to everything. He could be the best inspiration to any person from any genre of music because he can relate to so many. AND he is so humble. I love when famous people are humble.
Does it matter what he fuckin looks like ? He's Skrillex, he entertains you guys with his music. His face isn't a factor when it comes to music

His sonny not skrillex..
I WAS THE GUY WHO THROUGH SKRILLEX MY FLASH DRIVE!
I needed that pick me up today. So inspiring I love this guy to this day.
i like how he says skrillex as WE. not me, i , etc....
I really love him and I respect him He's like my dream guy.
Such a beautiful and genuine, person you are, Sonny! Best interview!
Love him so much! He is so smart and always has the best answers💚
This was really interesting to listen to. Consumers focus so much on the product that we tend to forget all of the hard work and details that go into making that product. Both gentlemen were interesting but I will admit that I stopped to hear what Skrillex had to say. Glad that I did... Much respect to him and all that he does.
For the record, I'm 70, played music most of my life, and have a college degree in audio and video production in 1992, and have ALWAYS been outside the box. I find your music enjoyable and appreciate something that is anything BUT medicinal mainstream! Thank you for doing what you do! Keep it up! God bless
I love how Sonny went from sitting down normally to curled up in the chair lol
Sonny is the bomb....period
Freaking love this guy! So motivating and such a chill vibe, I bet he could cheer ya up on a crappy day.
fucking genius love you skrill

I love watching documentaries about Skrillex just to hear what he has to say, and he definitely has plenty of things to share about himself. He's so creative and inspiring and it's always a pleasure to learn more about him.
Great conversation can't believe I'm this late finding it but on top of him being a pioneer, I think him being so accepting he was of social media reposting led to his superstar status. He could have gone the DMCA route when he was blowing up and killed a lot of hype and left a bad taste in fans' mouths.
This was very educational! Thanks for uploading!
skrillex really is a great idol to young producers around the globe. because of him, i have a whole new outlook on music. one day i hope to produce great music with this man
he is such a humble and chilled out guy!!!!......most talented!!!
Sonney is such a chill dude. He is one of the only artists I know who would actually do this: 38:56
i just love this guy so deeply
when that guy tossed that flash drive to skrillex, i imagined 500 flash drives getting thrown up. hahaaaa
I love how passionate he is.
what a great interview. Everything here is explained with Honesty.. Thank You Skrillex and Jeff .. :)
Nice to see some interviews finally up on youtube for Skrillex, what a cool dude.
Great in depth interview, more than I expected
Sonny, you're always the best for me. . congratulations to your career and to your music.
Wow! I'm soooo glad I found this video and watched it all, very inspirational to me and many others and has made me want to go further and do more and be happy and make new friends along the way and to just enjoy it! Thank you skrillex and jeff ! :-)
omg 44 mins of his sweet voice so amazing
dude. the beauty is that he made a unique style of something previously exisistant. learn the basics etc. than hone your sound. dont aim to be skrillex. aim to be you
Much respect for Skrillex. I can't say I'm the biggest fan of his music but this is really inspiring.
Very inspirational words. I'm loving every second of this video
Go Sonny GO!
Thanks for this
you skrillex!!!....is da best!
i met him twice. what a great guy. he skipped out on sound check for one of his shows and he talked with me for 30 mins. love sonny.
its actually so fascinating to watch this
I have no idea of what some of the discussion topics mean. But whatever Sonny says I understand. He is so inspiring.
I really enjoyed this
Such a chill modest dude. So awesome.
It's really cool how Sonny asks Jeff questions. Everyone is asking Sonny questions but he takes the time to ask Jeff questions and make him feel included. Sonny is a really cool dude
btw thank you sonny for this. It was good to listen to
He got a great personality,very smart and can see the future of edm!
hes the reason why i started producing and im doing real good so far and i look up to him
That was great. Thank you for doing this! Sonny is a big inspiration in his balance of being an artist, but also being a self made entrepreneur who knows how important a team is. And how valuable and necessary a team and community is.
I LOVE YOU SSKRILLEX !
This is the greatest interview of sonny I've ever seen in my life.
Wow, my attention span is shit and I was able to sit through that without even daydreaming (I day dream a lot) That's how you know your interested. I totally agree with the points made. I'm so tired of trying to be "normal" and fit in. I'm going to change the world and I don't care what anyone says! I think there's two main types of people, creative people and 'normal' people. I've been expected to be average all my life, but that's not who i am. At all. If you're creative use it to your full potential. And change the world
