On episode five of The Platform Podcast, I sit down with a Nashville resident, Diesel! From Hawaii to San Diego, Arizona to Nashville, Diesel talks about where he started and how he got to the place he is now in the industry.

Paimon's episode was the longest until now, take a seat and enjoy!

How do you build your brand? Is it a look, the style you play, your sound or your actions? We get into how Diesel found his identity as a DJ by staying true to himself.

Don't accept low rates! Diesel gives his take on how every DJ should be pulling in at least $500 for a weekend set.

We give the blueprint on how to properly request a track from a DJ and how to not get your phone thrown into the middle of a busy street.

Diesel is a collector of DJ stories, so we ended the episode talking about some of the wildest things we've seen in nightlife. Let us know your stories in the comments.
