If you’re a DJ or producer trying to build a real fanbase, this episode is essential listening.

Grahame Farmer — founder of Data Transmission, YouTube educator, and creator of The Artist Blueprint — breaks down exactly how artists are growing in 2025.

From social media strategy to automation tools, Grahame shares the real tactics that are helping artists get signed, grow on SoundCloud and Instagram, and actually build community — not just followers.

🎯 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why most DJs fail to grow on social media (and what to do instead)
• How to pick one platform and master it
• How SoundCloud became a powerful social tool again
• DM hacks, Instagram bio tips, and audience-building strategies
• Tools like ManyChat and ChatGPT that are changing the game for artist marketing
• Why YouTube might be the best platform for DJs right now
• The mindset shift from “content creator” to business owner

We also dive into Grahame’s new book, Gather, Give & Grow, and how he used AI to write it — plus the launch strategy that got it to #1 on Amazon.

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to take your project to the next level, this is a deep, practical conversation full of gems.
