The Platform Podcast episode sixty-five, I sit down with Nashville-based DJ, producer, and songwriter Logan Garrett to talk about his journey in music, his growing list of collaborations, and the creative process behind some of his latest releases. Logan shares how he’s built a career by staying versatile across genres—from open-format DJ sets to producing records that blend house, hip-hop, country, and Latin influences. He breaks down the grind behind landing collaborations, the reality of working with artists across the world, and why sometimes the best opportunities come from simply sending the message or taking the shot. The conversation dives into Logan’s work behind the scenes as a songwriter, including contributing to a record connected to Marshmello, as well as upcoming releases and collaborations with artists across multiple genres. He also talks about his independent approach to releasing music and the marketing strategies he uses to grow a global audience. We also discuss the realities of DJing in today’s nightlife scene, the challenge of introducing new music to crowds that want familiar hits, and how DJs balance creativity with keeping the dance floor moving. The episode also touches on Logan’s newest role working as the in-stadium DJ for Nashville SC, what it’s like performing for a stadium crowd compared to a nightclub, and how Nashville’s growing music and entertainment scene continues to create new opportunities for DJs and producers. If you’re a DJ, producer, songwriter, or someone interested in the music business, this episode is packed with insight on collaboration, marketing, creativity, and building a career in music.
