Afrojack is known as a DJ, but his artistic skills extend beyond music.

“My hidden talent is drawing,” the 36-year-old exclusively tells Us Weekly‘s 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me feature. “I can draw anything like a photocopy — it’s a very useless but cool party trick.”

His talents are mainly behind the turntables. While Afrojack (real name Nick Leonardus van de Wall) isn’t exactly an artist in the kitchen, he tells Us that he does have one specialty: “I make a great egg white and cheese sandwich.”
