    Nicole Fiallo

    Cutting your teeth in the DJ scene means that you worked your way up as a DJ from the bottom of the totem pole playing all the worst spots to working your way up, to playing the main stages. Most artists don't wanna take the time and effort required to work their way up through meeting people, getting the worst timeslots, and not making any money. Yet, sometimes when you want something so bad you are willing to do the dirty work to come out clean on the other side. Hey, I'm Rob and I am the host of Take A Shot With Me.

    Xan Griffin

    Between the ages of 9 to 20, what were you doing? Probably being a kid right or maybe at the latter parts, you were just getting on your grind about school, work, some side hustle, or maybe even music. Well, what if from the ages of 9 to 20 you actually did start making music, then you created a concept album all about the Zodiac star signs, and then you played some shows at EDC, you would probably think that either one that's impossible or two that's the most amazing thing in the world, right?! Well, what if I told you that it is possible and it actually did happen, but it wasn't the magical journey everyone thinks it is. Hey, I'm Rob and I am the host of Take A Shot With Me.

Ever since those early days, Xan has tried to be an artist first and wanted his name at the forefront. The more he learned about production, the more he learned about his voice and what more he could do with it, he started to experiment. He started to create a completely different lane. As he states it, his music is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you are gonna get. In this episode, we chat about everything from his early years, to his time making EDM, to now.
