    The Platform 056: MIME, Rebranding, Hitting The Music Lottery, Content Curry, Staying Creative

    On episode fifty-six of The Platform Podcast, I sat down with the DJ and producer known as Petie! The New York based DJ started his career and made a name for himself quickly when he went a new direction and rebranded as MIME. He burst onto the scene playing festivals in Asia and playing some of the most reputable venues in the U.S. like The Brooklyn Mirage. After some time he thought it was time to re-brand when he rekindled his passion for open format rooms. Now known as Petie, he travels constantly playing shows here in Nashville, Texas, Miami, New York and more. Aside from DJing he also has his own graphic design business called “Content Curry.” As a creative he talks about the similarities between music and graphic design and how doing both actually helped him. To wrap things up, Petie shares who he’d like to "Put On A Platform." Enjoy the episode! Leave your comments with any questions for Petie or suggestions for future guests.

    The Platform 055: The Nashville Standard, Don't Phone It In, Poco A Poco, The Best Band On Broadway

    On episode fifty-five of The Platform Podcast, I sit down with the lead singer of one of the hottest bands in Broadway, Chris Ferrara from The Common Good! Chris and his band are the residents at Barstool here in Nashville kicking off the party every Friday and Saturday night until 10:30 PM! I get the pleasure of watching and listening to their sets week in and week out and they are true entertainers. From the beginning Chris had a vision of what he wanted for his band and he stuck to it even after having discouraging conversations with managers and others in the industry. He even went as far as playing his gigs for nothing so he could pay his band first and bet on himself. Traveling to other cities Chris quickly noticed the standard that Nashville artists have to live up to and because of those expectations you HAVE to show up every night to play your best because you never know who will be watching and listening. Chris talks about the opportunities he's earned from playing at bars on Broadway like Barstool, including being asked to play in Japan recently. He gives some advice for new artists coming to Nashville and how he keeps his sets fresh playing a residency at the same venue every week! To wrap things up, Chris shares who he’d like to "Put On A Platform." Enjoy the episode! Leave your comments with any questions for Chris or suggestions for future guests.

    The Platform 054: Revoking Ableton Cards, Tracks That Check The Box, Artist Support, Ghost Producing

    On episode fifty-four of The Platform Podcast, I sit down with one of the top editors and remixers in the game, Rick Wonder. In this episode, Rick and I dive into a range of topics, including his creative process for working on tracks, legalizing "revoking Ableton cards," and the importance of testing and revising his edits and remixes multiple times before releasing them on Headliner Music Club (HMC). We also touch on issues like buying fake followers, having tracks ghost-produced, and the experience of getting support from major artists. To wrap things up, Rick Wonder shares who he’d like to "Put On A Platform." Enjoy the episode! Leave your comments with any questions for Rick or suggestions for future guests.

    The Platform 053: 4AM, It's A Marathon...Not A Sprint, Taking Care Of Everybody, Clubs Struggling

    On episode fifty-three of The Platform Podcast, I sat down with Chachi, an open format DJ, producer and owner of 4AM, a talent management agency. From his start as a teenage to now touring the world, Chachi lives by the line, "It's a marathon, not a sprint." We covered how he got started in DJing and where his love for music comes from, what advice he'd have not only for himself but for other DJs and producers and how he's managed to stay one of the top open format DJs in the game. Aside from DJing we talk about his production work and the importance of making music in today's industry. We dive into how he became the owner of 4AM, a talent agency that now represents 25+ DJs/artists. From developing and helping the artists with their brands to handling bookings and back end tasks 4AM does it all and Chachi preaches the importances of transparency with his artists as well as being there for all of them equally. Lastly, Chachi says who he wants to "Put On A Platform."

    The Platform 052: Writers Rounds, Overcoming Rejection, Ready For New Music

    On episode fifty-two of The Platform Podcast, I sat down with the talented young singer and song writer, Lauren Gottshall! Originally from just outside of Chicago, Lauren grew up heavily influenced by her mother when it came to her music taste. She started writing songs, singing and performing before she was even ten and recently made the jump to Nashville to turn her dreams into a career. Lauren and I met last year and I was happy to have her as a guest for the first episode back in a long time. We talked about her creative process when it comes to song writing, how working collaboratively with other artists for the first time brought a whole new perspective to her creatively with her music and how she learned to handle rejections. Lauren reflects on her first writers round and talks about the importance of them not only to the city of Nashville but to artists and their careers. Lastly, she says who she wants to "Put On A Platform."

    The Platform 050: Girls Like Me, The Right Team, Writing Hit Songs, Pushing Music To DJs

    On episode fifty of The Platform Podcast, I sat down with the up and coming artist, XOLEX! Lex is a country artist from a small town in Iowa, who made the jump to Nashville to pursuit a career in music. It hasn't been easy and she talks about the things she's learned over her few years here and her stint in Atlanta. Lex talked about living in Atlanta and not necessarily having a team around her that wanted the best for her and her career, to surrounding herself with a team she loves and are all on the same page with her current vision here in Nashville. We talked about the roll out of her new EP, "Girls Like Me" and how she planned everything for how she wanted to promote her new music. With that comes making PLENTY of content and posting that, which isn't easy for everyone to do even if you know it's a necessity. Being a female especially and posting on socials there is sometimes more hate that you have to worry about dealing with. Lex gives her thoughts on her creative process when writing songs and how she would handle giving up a song that she wrote for herself and another artist wanted. I asked Lex if she's pushing her music out to DJs...and she said no! We talk about the possible disconnect between artists and DJs and how they could be missing a huge opportunity to connect with new fans by getting their music out to DJs, especially in a city like Nashville where bars/clubs have DJs almost all day, every day. Lastly, Lex says who she wants to "Put On A Platform."

    The Platform 049: What Band Are You Guys In? Making 51% Of The Room Happy

    On episode forty-nine of The Platform Podcast, I sat down with two Miami residents who together do it all in music, Zillamatic and Gobe. Zillamatic is a DJ originally from California who moved to Dallas and now resides in Miami. Gobe is an artist who's making a name for himself with new music releases as recent as last Friday! Together they've worked on music and put a song called HOTL (Heart On The Line) and became good friends. I got to talk to both of them about their careers in music, their experiences and what they have planned for the future. We talked about DJing in different rooms and how music has become so accessible that it's harder to please the crowd. To the point that if you can get 51% of the crowd to like what you're playing, you're doing alright! They gave their insight on the creative processes they go through when making new songs and who they make them for. Lastly, Zillamatic and Gobe say who they want to "Put On A Platform."
