From Fortnite montages to worldwide chart hits
In 2021, D4VD started producing its own music to set its own Fortnite assembly videos and to avoid copyright infringement. This reported “NME”. He later turned to more traditional songs. Since then he has placed two singles in the British Top 40 and three hits in the Billboard Hot 100 and sold out several world tours. So a reason for Fortnite to become aware of the artist.
D4VD about the connection between gaming and music
D4VD said about the relationship between music and gaming in conversation with “NME”: “I love it because music and video games belong together for so long. I love video game soundtracks, the iconic sounds and also the memes that arise from it.”
He added: “I am also a huge video game nerd and a huge music nerd. The fact that I started with music because of video games is something poetic in itself, and I just want to continue, no matter what I can participate in-Fortnite, Call of Duty, FIFA, Madden, everything I can. I just want to close the gap between music and video games.”
The balance between art, algorithm and authenticity
In the interview with MusikExpress, he recently commented: “It is not about being authentic,” said D4VD with a mixture of self -irony and pragmatism. “It’s about catching people. And if you have them, you can be authentic. Be funny, be bipolar.”
However, real art is his music: “The art I make is pure art – without gimmicks.” He believes that his music in a world could have established a deeper connection to people in a world without social media. “You can have the better song than someone else, but if he is funnier than you, he gets more fans.”
