DJing Your Own Tracks: Why It Feels Weird at First

There’s something wild about playing your own productions out loud for the first time. Scroll through Instagram and you’ll see it — a flood of sweaty smiles, hands-in-the-air moments, people absolutely buzzing as their own track drops to a crowd. It looks euphoric. And don’t get me wrong — it can be. But if you're new to producing, like me, and you’ve started DJing your own material, you’ll know there’s another side to that moment. One...

Identity Issues as a DJ

In recent conversations with both emerging and established DJs, two major identity challenges keep coming up: Musical Identity and Visual Identity. Whether you're just starting out or have been on the circuit for years, these issues can shape — or shake — your sense of self as an artist. 1. Musical Identity: OR vs AND Thinking Most of us come into DJing with a deep love for a specific genre. House, Techno, DnB, Afro — whatever...

When You Need to be smART

The Podcast That Changed My Thinking Lately, I’ve been hooked on Will Clarke’s podcast. It’s articulate, funny, and packed with insights. The fact that both his parents are therapists makes sense—he draws out the kind of conversations that go beyond gear and gigs, tapping into the psychology of being a producer. It’s not just about music. It’s about contracts, mental health, creative identity, and managing relationships. Music isn’t just a job—it’s a people business. Maybe the...

The Emotional DNA of Keys

I played a song to a friend and immediately he got the sentiment, of the song. He's a smart guy, a DJ, Producer and Engineer so his ear is well trained. He said "I bet it's in C Minor" which is about love / unrequited love. To get this from an electronic track threw me, I was SO impressed but also curious what he meant. So I did some research on this, the emotional DNA...

In Your Blood.

Sacrificing Creativity In 2009, I embarked on the journey of running a tech business. Whist it was exciting to become a founder, it demanded sacrifices—most notably, my passions for screenwriting and DJing. As I transitioned, I recall a pivotal moment when a film producer optioned one of my stories. The opportunity to write the screenplay was within reach, but time was not. Choosing the business meant sidelining my creative endeavours, leading to a huge of loss.​...

Summoning the Muses to Support Your Creative Endeavours

Warning: This is a bit woo-woo, but it works. Being an artist is tough. Being a successful one—both artistically and commercially—is even tougher. It requires you to engage a part of your brain that may not come naturally: being process-oriented, consistent with content marketing, and structured in how you manage your outreach. Art Alone Is Not Enough Pablo Picasso is estimated to have created around 147,800 works of art, including paintings, prints, sculptures, and ceramics. Here’s a...

Artists: Balancing Day Jobs and Anxiety

A lot of muscians I meet want to ditch the day job for their passion and many get nervous as they grow. Combine those two scenarios together and the path gets a bit tough with building frustration and working in circles. Yet, Many of history’s most celebrated artists didn’t start their careers with financial security or unwavering confidence. They worked day jobs, juggled responsibilities, and, in many cases, struggled with anxiety and self-doubt while building their...
