In today’s episode, we dive into something most DJs and producers ignore for way too long: niches. We talk about why trying to please everyone kills momentum, how going “too broad” holds back your growth, and why the most successful artists double down on a very specific sound, vibe, or audience.
We also share real-life examples of artists who found success by going narrow, not wide, and how you can do the same without losing your creative freedom.
If you’ve been stuck trying to “find your sound,” this one’s for you.
