I don't post on LinkedIn often, but I felt this video deserved it. Chicago legend Green Velvet attended the University of Illinois and UC Berkeley for engineering, but the allure of house music was irresistible. Having pivoted careers multiple times myself, I found this story incredibly inspiring. #CareerPivot #ChicagoMusic #ChicagoLegend

I often get asked if I can recommend talented contractors in the creative field, and there's one name I always mention: Sabrina Diamond, my social media strategist. Working with Sabrina over the past 10 months has completely changed the game for my YouTube and Instagram channels.

She has a knack for understanding exactly what needs to be done to get real results when you're hitting a wall. Beyond her strategic skills, Sabrina is simply a delight to work with. She’s someone you can trust to manage every detail meticulously, which makes my life a whole lot easier. Her proactive approach and ability to handle every aspect of our projects without constant oversight is not only refreshing but invaluable. Sabrina’s talents are ideal for anyone looking to seriously enhance their online presence. She’s particularly brilliant with creative types but is adaptable and effective across all fields.

In the electronic music industry, opportunity often comes cloaked in the exclusivity of green rooms and the tight circles of the "in" crowd. If your responsibilities extend beyond the nightlife, you might feel left out of these pivotal connections. Additionally, many talented DJs and producers find themselves at a disadvantage, lacking the legal knowledge and business skills needed to negotiate favorable contracts and protect their creative rights. That's why Matthew Sherman and I created Chicago Music Nexus. Our goal is to level the playing field by democratizing access to essential industry knowledge and networking opportunities. This event is tailored to help artists and creative entrepreneurs monetize their personal brand, build effective management teams, and develop strategies to succeed and adapt in the fast-evolving music landscape. In addition to panels, we'll have two hours of dedicated networking where artists and professionals can forge meaningful connections that turn into warm leads. We're thrilled to host this year's Chicago Music Nexus on November 23rd at Loft Lucia in the West Loop, Chicago. As the birthplace of house music, Chicago offers the perfect backdrop for empowering the next generation of music industry leaders. Tickets go on sale June 21st! #MusicIndustryEvent #MusicIndustryProfessionals #ElectronicMusicIndustry

As a branding consultant, I’m always curious how DJs shape their brands. This one is a little on the nose - but it’s fared well for drum n bass artist, Reaper! It’s almost the year anniversary of my podcast, Elevated Frequencies, and I’m just getting started. I am so grateful for all the incredible artists who have spent time with me over the past year. https://lnkd.in/gFfEM_ds

Here are four essentials every creative entrepreneur should incorporate into their routine for a more balanced and productive life. 1. Phone jail. Give yourself an hour of phone-free time each morning. It lowers stress and sharpens focus for the day. I do this every morning. It’s the time of the day I feel I have the most control over my schedule. 2. Plants. Start with one plant and see where it takes you. Gardening connects you to nature, provides a sense of responsibility, and adds vitality to your environment. Plus, it's great for indoor air quality. I started with one, now I have 22. They’re all still alive. 😃 3. Read for fun. Step away from the self-help and business books. Leisure reading can be a source of unexpected inspiration and a well-needed break for your mind. I’m currently reading about crystal mining. 4. Non-digital hobbies. Do stuff that doesn’t involve screens. For me, it’s crafting, arranging flowers, and baking. All of these hobbies give me new ideas for my business. #creativeentrepreneurship #creativebusiness
