    Branding, Viral Content & Starting Fresh w/ Stella Sky

    10.2.2026 | 40 Min.
    In today's episode, I'm sitting down with Stella Sky (formerly Cheese n Crackers), one of the first artists I ever discovered on TikTok. We talked about how she figured out her authentic brand through vulnerability, why her viral videos with millions of views didn't actually convert to streams, and the harsh truth about what content actually builds a loyal fanbase. We discuss the difference between going viral and building an audience, why she's starting fresh with a new project in 2026, and how the music industry has shifted from chasing numbers to valuing real connection with fans. Plus, Stella flips the script and interviews me about AI in music, distribution services, and why ads might be the best investment you'll ever make.

    The AI Takeover of Music w/ Daily Dosa Music

    03.2.2026 | 26 Min.
    I haven't made music in two years - and honestly, I'm terrified to start again. In today's episode, I'm sitting down with Ashwin from Daily Dosa Music to talk about why we both feel like we're losing the battle against AI. We talked about the fear of coming back to music production and feeling like a dinosaur, why 25% of our playlist submissions are now AI-generated, what happens when kids grow up listening only to algorithm-curated AI music, and whether we'll even recognize the music industry in five years.

    How To Release Your Music With Zero Fans

    20.1.2026 | 28 Min.
    In today's episode, I'm walking you through exactly how to release music when you have zero fans, zero budget, and zero idea where to start. We're covering the mistakes I made when I was 19 (and lost years of my life to), the release strategy that actually works, and why momentum matters more than going viral. If you're about to release your first song or you've been stuck at 100 monthly listeners for months, this one's for you.
