“Anybody young out there who wants to make music, or artists, the best advice I ever got was, Success is something that you attract, not something that you try to chase or catch.”

Upon accepting the award, Skrillex (real name Sonny Moore) had a message for upcoming artists: “Anybody young out there who wants to make music, or artists, the best advice I ever got was, Success is something that you attract, not something that you try to chase or catch.
“The other thing I wanna say is, for all the young people and everyone out here — I know the world is crazy right now — I really hope that we can actually start listening to each other and that everyone on the other side of the aisle, or anyone on a different perspective, we realise that they’re not enemies and I really hope we can start listening to each other and having conversations.
Moore ended his speech with appreciation to his fellow artists, saying: “Big love to Fred Again.., big love to Flowdan. Flowdan is one of the biggest inspirations in underground music in my life…and to have a Grammy with those guys, my best friends, making music that we just love, not trying to make a hit, not trying to do anything but push culture forward…This is for those guys.”
Fred Again.. went on to win his second Grammy shortly after, winning Best Dance/Electronic Album for his album Actual Life 3.
Rumble was released on 4 January 2023, and was the first single from Skrillex’s 2023 album, Quest For Fire, which was also nominated for Best Dance/Electronic Album.
