"Seventeen: Your single &amp;quot;We Run The Night&amp;quot; featuring Pitbull is such an great party song! DJ Havana Brown: Awesome! That&amp;#039;s what we were going for. It definitely has an energy and party vibe to it. I wanted people to play it and for it to get them in the mood to enjoy themselves. That doesn&amp;#039;t mean you have to be going to a club, you could just be getting ready to go out with the girls. 17: It&amp;#039;s good for the gym too, because it&amp;#039;s so fast. DJ HB: A lot of people tell me that! I didn&amp;#039;t intend it, but I like it. 17: How did the collaboration with Pitbull come about? DJ HB: I toured with Pitbull and Enrique Iglesias, when they were in Australia. Red One, who has worked with Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez, produced my version of the song and then played it for Pitbull. Then, I got a call from Red One saying Pitbull did his own verse on the song because he loved it! 17: Touring with Pitbull and Enrique Inglesias is major, and you&amp;#039;ve also toured with Lady Gaga and The Pussycat Dolls. DJ HB: I&amp;#039;ve also toured with Britney Spears, Chris Brown and Rihanna. It&amp;#039;s so much fun. I was just DJing on most of those tours and it&amp;#039;s such great insight as to what hard work goes on with these tours. It&amp;#039;s very glamorous because we all love what we do, but it&amp;#039;s hard work at the same time. 17: Which tour was your favorite? DJ HB: The Pitbull and Enrique tour was one of my faves because I wasn&amp;#039;t only DJing, I was performing my own music as well. On top of that, Enrique is incredibly down to earth. I previously sang &amp;quot;Heartbeat&amp;quot; with him on X Factor in Australia because I was filling in for Nicole Scherzinger, and I remember thinking he would be really into himself because he&amp;#039;s so good-looking. But he is one of the nicest people you&amp;#039;ll ever meet and he made me feel so welcome on the tour. Another reason why I loved that tour is because after every show, there would be a party backstage! 17: You have such amazing confidence. Do you have any tips on how other people can be more confident? DJ HB: It&amp;#039;s all about who you surround yourself with. You have to be comfortable with yourself and have friends who accept you for who you are. Also, do something that you&amp;#039;re passionate about. When you find out what you&amp;#039;re good at and you do it, that gives you confidence. 17: How old were you when you started DJing? DJ HB: I was 18. 17: How did you get started? DJ HB: I was living in the UK and was in a music group. It was three guys and me. We recorded an album and had a record label, but right when we were about to release the first single, the band broke up. It was really hard for me. I felt like I had come so far and was so close to pursuing my dreams. Then, I was right back down to the bottom. One night, I was talking to the DJ in the band and I was telling him how he had the best job in the world. He gets to go out and perform, play good music, make people laugh, sing, dance and enjoy themselves. I was telling him how much I&amp;#039;d love to do that. So, he told me I should do it. At the time, DJing wasn&amp;#039;t something females thought about doing, but I just ran with it.
