What are some of the most important shifts an artist experiences as they break through the music industry?
Recorded live from Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), we explore the pivotal moments emerging artists navigate to break through. From the quest for the right manager and booking agent to establishing a solid financial foundation, and cultivating a loyal fan base, we dive deep into these essential aspects of an artist’s journey.
Atish is not only a luminary figure in the music industry with his work on cultured labels and collectives like Anjunadeep and Robot Heart, but he is also the visionary behind the label, Manjumasi, and a highly acclaimed mentorship program that paves the way for future talent.
Joining the discussion is Saqib, a rising star hailing from Brooklyn, NY, who has been making waves with prestigious releases on labels like Abracadabra and Sol Selectas. Both Saqib and our host, Farah Nanji have been mentees in Atish’s legendary mentorship program, so the conversation felt very synergetic!
➤ In tomorrow's episode, we uncover:
✅ Building the perfect team
✅ Unlocking international touring opportunities
✅ Balancing multiple jobs
✅ Seeking out good mentors
✅ Navigating feelings of self-doubt
✅ Recognizing the importance of timing
✅ Overcoming creative blocks and maintaining a consistent flow of inspiration
"The breakthrough is when the artist thinks like a CEO" - Atish
"There are no shortcuts. Success comes from a consistent rhythm of persistence" - Saqib
