This week on Like a Farmer, we sit down with genre-blending trailblazer Dee Jay Silver, the man who brought mashups to Music Row. In a candid conversation, Silver also opens up about the October 1, 2017 Las Vegas tragedy, offering a powerful, emotional perspective on a night that changed so many lives. Silver also shares how growing up in Texas shaped his hustle, how Jason Aldean changed everything, and why country music chose him as much as he chose it. We dive into his evolution from “Why not me?” to “Good for you,” unpack the influence of mentors, and get the inside story on collaborations and connections with stars like Luke Bryan, Post Malone, Pitbull, MGK, and Lil Jon. Plus, get the scoop on rising talent in country music, the Rob Dyrdek business model, and an untold Josh Allen story you won’t hear anywhere else.
