Take A Shot With Me

This week I sit down and take shots with DJ Amy Lauren. A UK based DJ/Producer that works on the radio playing some of the best Tech House, Bass, and UKG around! In this episode, we chat about tons of stuff going from how she wanted to become a DJ, to her love of horses and dog agility, to us going on a long tangent about new music and artists we love. Amy also trashes all traditional English dishes, in our segment of Fit or Sh!t! We had tons of laughs and a great time chatting together. I learned a lot about Amy and I hope you all do too!

Intro Song: SL2 - On A Ragga Tip (Amy Lauren VIP)

We have got an amazing episode this week as I sit down and chat with Amelia. Amelia is a pop singer/songwriter originally from the deep south of Georgia in Valdosta. She currently lives in Atlanta. Amelia is an up and coming artist that creates lovely pop vocals over catchy bouncy production. Her voice is a tool she utilizes to connect the listener to her music. Amelia and I sat down and took shots as we talked about her start as an artist, her different approach to starting off her music career, creating a live performance video that has over 1 million views on Triller, where she draws her personal inspirations from, whether Pinterest is a better platform than Instagram, and we dive deep into some of her more interesting tweets! An episode that I know y'all will enjoy from start to end! So come join us on this episode and listen as I take shots with Amelia.

On this week's episode, I am alone and getting very aggressively drunk with my microphone. I think I said more bad words in this 12-minute episode than I have ever said in a normal week, but it was for the purpose of showcasing my passion for the show. I give you all 3 reviews of 2 beers and a mixed drink in a can, while also concisely delivering you all the key to bringing a divided world together on one issue!

On this weeks episode, I am sitting down and chatting with Max Taylor. Max Taylor is rapper that's trying to get out his feelings. If he started a label it wouldn't be like Kanye West's Getting Out Our Dreams it would be more like Getting Out Our Feelings. A real awesome MC from Raleigh that's trying to connect with people and let them know its ok to talk about your personal issues and deal with trauma in the light. Max and I talk about his mother's passing and how much it has effected him personally and his music, we get to learn more about his love/hate relationship with the Raleigh rap scene, how his music has grown, what makes him different, and if Joe Budden has done some really wild and out of pocket shit. I had a really great interview with Max and I know you all will enjoy it the same.

Intro Song: Max Taylor - Healing
Outro Song: Max Taylor - Screaming for Help

On this week's episode, I am back again ranting and raving about something that annoys me in the music industry! I am sitting alone in the corner of my room talking to my mic about Spotify paid playlisting and growing your community on/off Spotify.

This episode is a rant on those predatory services that take advantage of artists who are just starting off in the industry and don't know how to properly grow their music or communities. Those services that promise a bunch of streams for very little money, which are infested with fake accounts and bot streaming. I chat about the best ratios to look at to make sure if the playlist you are on is fake or not, as well as the best ways to promote your music on and off the platform!

I'm trying to give artists the truth on how to grow your music in a safe and legitimate way that will pay you dividends in the long run as a top tier earning artist!

So stayed locked in for the educational portion of the Take A Shot With Me Podcast!
