Robbert van de Corput has been known to the world for the better half of a decade through his celebrated moniker Hardwell. So it came as quite a surprise when the World’s number 1 DJ went largely unrecognized as he strolled Times Square for a promotional event for his “I AM HARDWELL” tour. Unveiling the North American leg of his mammoth tour, Hardwell was then taken around by the team of news magazine Elite Daily, for a quick impromptu sessions with passersby about what they think of EDM and who was Hardwell. The responses were sometimes funny but othertimes uncomfortable for the Dutch Maestro.
With most people having heard Hardwell‘s music, none could recognize his face, (which perhaps, in traditional DJ culture is the biggest compliment an artist can receive!) One interviewee even went on to call him “David Hardwell” to which Robert seemed pretty amused. Besides having a general un-enthusiastic reaction to EDM, most of the people cited Avicii to be their favorite DJ, not realizing that DJ Hardwell was standing in front of them! This one’s a must-watch for the sheer number of awkward moments!
