One of his compositions was chosen as the official theme to the premiere version of reality show Big Brother Denmark, and within weeks the catchy theme was everywhere. The song “I See Right Through To You” was an instant mega hit, and Andreas soon signed with Universal Music. He hooked up with co-writing partner Engelina, and created the act DJ Encore (feat.) Engelina. Their debut single became one of the fastest selling singles in Denmark; achieving double platinum status in a little over 3 weeks and debuting at # 1, where it stayed solid for 6 weeks.

The solid success in their native country quickly caught the ears of other A&R people around the world, and Andreas suddenly saw his debut single getting a firm release commitment in the US and UK. Although ”I See Right Through To You” reached the Top 3 on the U.K. club chart, the U.S. proved to be the scene for the DJ Encore sound. The debut album, Intuition, was released in conjunction with a 28 city U.S. promotional tour, which brought Andreas and Engelina from coast to coast during a 19-week period. The hard work resulted in album sales of more than 125,000 albums sold.

DJ Encore’s proven U.S. success quickly saw a huge demand for DJ gigs. This resulted in Andreas spending little over a year traveling numerous times back and forth from Scandinavia to the states to cope with the demand. This sudden success leads to various award-nominations, including several Danish Music Awards, Winter Music Conference Awards among others.

His own little blend of pop with trancy elements and damn good melodies quickly led to remixing songs for other artists. The first two US remixes for bands the “Frou Frou” and “RES” both reached the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot Club Play. His remix credits have since then included Lee Ann Rimes, Amber, Berlin and Limp Bizkit. Andreas also got the chance to do his very own mix compilation on Ultra Records. This spawned sales of more than a 125,000 units over the counter, and proved the value of the DJ Encore trademark as one of the most successful compilations on Ultra Records.

Apart from his own career as an artist, remixer and DJ, Andreas has been heavily involved in several other projects, as a producer and writer. He has been working with the princess of Denmark, a Finnish rock power girl band, a Portuguese actor, and the Belgian Idol winner among many others. Today his achievements include 11 platinum and 3 gold awards from various projects around the globe.

The next step in the DJ Encore era is the new album Unique. Andreas has traveled around every corner of the world to co-write the album with different songwriters. But all the production, recording and mixing has been done in Andreas’ own studio in Copenhagen, Denmark. The album features a new vocalist, Johanna, from Sweden, and her beautiful voice merges perfectly with Andreas’ catchy melodies.

Wanna Fly?
DJ Encore Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just wanna glow but I need your moon
I don't wanna greave it's much to soon
I wanna go back in your car
To what we had and what you are

You can sleepwalk your way through the fire
But you'll always get burned
If you only I'll take you higher

You only be hurt

Don't you wanna feel
Like a hurricane blew up your airplane
Don't you wanna be
Flying in the sky
Cure for your fear of heights

You don't have to turn away
You don't have to turn away
You don't have to turn away
From me

Don't you wanna fly?

I just wanna glow but I need your moon
I don't wanna greave it's much to soon
I wanna go back in your car
To what we had and what you are

You can sleepwalk your way through the fire
But you'll always get burned
If you only I'll take you higher
You only be hurt

Don't you wanna feel
Like a hurricane blew up your airplane
Don't you wanna be
Flying in the sky
Cure for your fear of heights

You don't have to turn away
You don't have to turn away
You don't have to turn away
From me

Don't you wanna fly?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to DJ Encore's song "Wanna Fly" can be interpreted as a plea for a deeper connection and a desire for emotional elevation within a relationship. The singer expresses a longing to shine and be happy ("I just wanna glow") but acknowledges the need for the other person's presence and support ("I need your moon").

The next part of the lyrics speaks to the potential risks and challenges in pursuing this desired connection. The singer notes that one can navigate through difficult times without fully experiencing or confronting the pain ("You can sleepwalk your way through the fire, but you'll always get burned"). However, in order to truly elevate the relationship and reach greater heights, one must be willing to take risks and potentially face hurt ("If you only I'll take you higher, you only be hurt"). The use of imagery like a hurricane blowing up an airplane emphasizes the intensity and transformative nature of the desired experience.

The chorus repeats the question "Don't you wanna fly?" as a way of inviting the other person to join the singer in this journey towards emotional freedom and fulfillment. It suggests that by embracing vulnerability and overcoming the fear of heights, one can experience a sense of liberation and exhilaration ("Cure for your fear of heights"). The final repetition of "You don't have to turn away from me" further emphasizes the importance of connection and reassures the other person that they don't have to push the singer away.

Overall, "Wanna Fly" can be seen as a plea for a deeper emotional connection within a relationship, acknowledging the potential risks and challenges of pursuing such a connection, but ultimately inviting the other person to embrace vulnerability and fly together towards emotional fulfillment.
