As much as I’d love to spend all day producing music in my home studio, I need a way to perform for money and for exposure.

My ultimate goal is a concert experience: playing a hybrid or live set of my music to a crowd. However I also DJ and know it’s decent money that also allows me to meet new fans + promoters.

Given that I’m working on releasing new music before the end of this year, how much time should I be allocating toward DJing instead of being a standalone artist?

I'm building my narrative - who I am, my sound, my audience - in real time and feel that it is fertile ground for folks to feel like they can contribute to a movement. I have some early traction from DJing + releasing a single, but otherwise the world is my oyster.

I'm not looking for people to literally "fund" my project, but more so feel like they are part of something bigger. What are ways to promote this on social media and garner more loyal fans early on?
