Steve Aoki

Steve Aoki fascinates me as a phenomenon as much as a musician. Being named North America's highest-grossing EDM artist is one thing, but turning his shows into cake-throwing celebrations is pure showmanship that few would dare. Beneath the spectacle sits real substance: a UC Santa Barbara education, work as a producer and collector, and recognition in 2024 as one of the Most Impactful Asians. What I appreciate most is how he carries his Japanese heritage to the center of a global stage and makes the whole world dance. That blend of joy and ambition is rare.
