    DLMT: Staying Authentically You ⚡

    Dan, also known as DLMT (@dlmtmusic), is one of the house artists that originally drew me into EDM- with his edgy melodic vocals. My favorite tracks are 'More Than Ever' & 'So Cold' (2019), which made it on the Billboard Chart for almost 15 weeks before claiming the #1 spot. He has collaborated with Afrojack on his track, 'Wish You Were Here', which had over 3 million streams in the first couple of months!! In this talk, we discussed how he ensures his music will be a hit with his audience while also staying authentic to himself & what his pre-show ritual looks like to ensure his mental health stays on track- as well as his creative process for his music & where he gets his inspiration from! Watch out for his new single dropping over the next month! 😈🤯

    Curt Reynolds: Spirituality As We Know It

    Curt Reynolds (@curtreynolds) is a melodic house artist from Los Angeles, CA, who I met waiting in the bathroom line at Le Youth's performance for Art Basel. He has performed at Lollapalooza & Splash House & 'Late Reflections' is one of my favorite tracks by him. In this conversation, we touched on what happens after you die, the meaning of life, & the potential toxicity of social media. It was SO neat to see many of my own beliefs validated by him & to see how his spiritual perspective reflects through his music!

    Moonlander: Most Likely To Never Be Famous

    For those of you who don't know... Moonlander aka Dillon Church, is a talented music artist from Charlotte, NC, who vibes with breezy music that sounds like rap with a poppy flare. In this talk, we highlight his unreleased album, 'Most Likely to Never Be Famous', & how his positive outlook towards life allows him to push past nay-sayers & excel in his music career. He has even had the chance to collab with artists such as Skizzy Mars, & perform at major festivals like Breakaway Music Festival. He happens to be someone that I've known for quite some time & it's ironic because I remember him telling me years ago (with such conviction) that he knew he would make it one day. And here his is living out his dream!! So proud. I enjoyed this talk so much because it felt super organic & real!!
