Why Most DJs Don't Survive, with Dannic


Listen Later

Dannic has been DJing since he was 17 and he's still here while most of his peers from the EDM era have moved on.

In this episode we get honest about why. We talk about the four-year cycle every artist hits, the moment his team pushed him to flip his sound completely, and why that's the decision he regrets most. It's a grounded conversation about longevity, creative identity, and what happens when you stop believing in your own sound. If you've ever questioned yours because someone told you to, this one's worth a listen.
