François K’s DJ career almost began by accident.

Before becoming one of dance music’s most influential DJs and remixers, François K was a self-described “failed drummer” and one of the many countless emerging musicians chasing the same opportunities across New York.

Then he realised the competition looked very different in the DJ booth.

“None of it was planned. None of it was on purpose. It just happened.”

Watch François K: A Conversation Through Music with DJ Lorna Clarkson, now on EMCAST.
