For French DJ and record producer David Guetta, lockdown has been a welcome relief from a punishing, if stellar, career and brought back some of the freedom he had in his teens.

Speaking to Reuters ahead of his virtual MTV Europe Music Awards (EMA’s) performance on Sunday, he said this “moment of confinement” had been positive in many ways although he was very much aware how lucky he was not to have to worry about money. “I started to make music every day, which I usually don’t because I’m touring so much,” he said via Zoom. “I’m just making music for fun, like I was doing when I was 17, you know, and, and it’s amazing ... it’s one of the best moments of my life when it comes to enjoying and making music and being inspired.”
