Royal -- as he's sometimes called -- describes the way he chooses his music, "I've always loved music and dancing. These styles of music draw me in by the way they almost force my body to move. So how do I pick my music? In short: If it makes me dance, I’ll play it. That's how I find music that appeals almost universally to nearly any taste or preference."
