On episode four of The Platform Podcast, I sit down with Iowa's DJ Paimon! From Iowa City to LA, Paimon's journey has brought him a wealth of knowledge in the music world.

Our longest sit down yet and first virtual podcast, take a seat and enjoy!

Paimon gets into TikTok, how he blew up on the app and how big it is within the music industry.

He talks about his Iowa City residency at Bardot and how growing as a DJ makes him change his perspective when booking gigs.

COVID and music! While he had downtime he learned plenty of instruments that he's now able to showcase on social media platforms. We also take a dive into how his ear for music changed during the pandemic.

Booking locals vs out of town DJs in a smaller market can sometimes be a challenge. While I struggled with it in the past when managing a night club, Paimon gives his view on the situation and how it sometimes works but isn't always a perfect fit.
