Tuff Questions is our series where we ask artists a series of incredibly difficult questions.
This week on the toughest interview in dance music we've got club regular, Kungs, stepping up to the Tuff Questions. Known for his global super-hit "This Girl", Kungs has become one of the most in-demand proponents of Tropical House.
In 2016 he won two French Grammys for Best Electro Album of The Year and Best French DJ categories, beating out incredibly tough competition from countrymen like David Guetta, DJ Snake and more.
Kungs has been spending lockdown working on new music, with new single "Dopamine" out now.

Why do lots of DJs wear masks? What’s the deal with that?
Because most of us, we’re not as hot as your regular pop singer 😂 Let’s face the truth, usually people know our names and our songs, but they’re having a hard time to physically identify us...
Where is the strangest place you’ve DJed?
It was one of my first gigs in Norway. It was organized by a guy completely bat-shit crazy, in a house with 10 people. To get there you had to take a boat, and on the next day, the boat guy forgot to pick us up...
Where’s the afters?
No need for an after, I remember my last gigs before the quarantine, I played 8h DJ sets...
