    Going Viral While Still Clocking In ft. Kairee Doty

    What does it actually look like to go viral overnight and still show up to your day job the next morning? In this episode of Colorful Theories, Amaka sits down with Kairee Doty, the fully independent artist who went from 800 followers to over a million streams on a song he made in 15 minutes.If you're a creative trying to build something real without sacrificing your integrity (or your rent check), this one's for you.We get into:- Why going viral was humbling, not just exciting- The coworker who reignited his belief in music when he was ready to quit for good- How learning videography on the side completely changed his sound- And what the business side of music actually looks like when no label is cutting your checksUnlike other music podcasts, Colorful Theories gets personal.
