Its 16 years in the making, Mazdzer toldNBC.

Ive had a rough last two years, and it just shows: Dont ever give up.

Whenever you lose, keep fighting.

DJ-driven tracks and folk rock balladsWhen I warm up, I like listening to electronic music.

I listen to Martin Garrix, Flume, Dillon Francis.

Things like that where its got a really good beat.

And then I can go right into a softer side, like Brandi Carlile.

Shes one of my favorites.

Hes a Czech author, and its this book calledThe Unbearable Lightness of Being.

Im currently readingThinking, Fast and Slow, by Daniel Kahneman, and thats a more intellectual book.

I like things like that; thought-provoking books.

I would say 10 to 15 percent of the stuff is, like, really eerie.

Some of its true, but most of its not.

Its just kind of thought-provoking things.
