Tiësto is still riding high off married life, having tied the knot in 2019, and this year has learnt “that there’s actually also a life outside the DJ touring life!” That said, the enduring Dutch titan has continued to evolve and adapt his sound, worked on various remixes as well as start a new project VER:WEST, “which has allowed me to explore the deeper melodic side of my musical interests.”
 
He adds that although many great things have happened in his career so far, “the greatest is yet to come.” He hints at new music which “will be perfect to drop when the clubs and festivals are back”, though says it's hard not to be road-testing material as he goes. 
He has also just signed with Atlantic Records and released ‘The Business’, the first single from his debut album, currently planned for release next year. As a parting shot, he says: “I'm sending my love to everyone, stay strong and stay positive!”
