I sat down with Mark Andrezyk, head of talent at Framework, Sound Nightclub, Spotlight LA, and one of the biggest stages at a very prominent festival in the desert ;) to understand what he looks for when he books artists to play his events.

We talked about the dos and donts of the music industry, what up-and-coming artists should focus on (hint: it's your music, your ability to perform, and your brand), and what he bases his decisions on.

Learned some great insights and had an amazing chat with Mark. Thank you Mark!

Inside The Mind of a Piano Wizard - KAYA Musique on The Racket House Podcast Episode 06

On easily the highest-energy episode of The Racket House Podcast to date, I sat down with the Disco demon himself, The @goshfather

Victor, aka The Goshfather, is a San Francisco-based artist who’s shaking up the electronic music scene by blending disco, funk, and tech house into a sound that’s truly his own. Inspired by legends like Daft Punk and Duck Sauce, Goshfather has earned residencies across the U.S., toured globally, and, in 2023, challenged himself to release a new track every single week—a challenge he crushed. His music has been supported by names like Bingo Players, Dr. Fresch, and Diplo, and he’s racking up hundreds of thousands of downloads on his music.

I'd never met Goshfather today but I wanted him on because he popped up on my social media feeds earlier this year and then I started seeing him everywhere. I love how dialed in his brand is - the head-banging disco junkie with a distinct look and outfit. His social media is both inspiring and hilarious. He's always offering tips and insights to artists. He made it on his own by releasing tons of music and staying active on socials and he's got a big personality.

The convo got intense in the best way as we discussed the state of the music industry and what artists need to do to be successful. You can tell how passionate Goshfather is and I love him for it. PROTECT THIS MAN AT ALL COSTS!

It's our decade episode! Welcome to the 10th episode of The Racket House Podcast where two things are true: we had some serious technical difficulties and we also had on a rising star in the dance and electronic world, our friend  @kaysin.

Real name Nick Sommers, Nick was kind enough to give some of his time out of his busy day to share his story and offer some top-tier advice for those in the music space. And when I say busy day, I'm not kidding - as Nick is the head A&R for  @RepopulateMars   - one of the biggest labels in dance music. Nick is also a budding star, DJing and producing under the alias Kaysin. At the time of recording, Kaysin was preparing for a headlining show at the famous Sound Nightclub in LA, as well as a show the following week for his debut in Philly. 

Nick is one of the nicest and smartest guys in dance music and that's probably why he's gotten so far. Oh yeah, and he's a damn good DJ and producer. He talks about his early days in music, how he got to where he is today, tips and tricks for artists, and what the future holds for the Kaysin project.

Tap in and let us show you what all the hype is about!

I did it. I got THE Jesse Cannon on the podcast. If you don't know him, that's okay. He's only one of the most decorated music marketing veterans in the game. Plus a YouTube and Podcasting expert who also happens to own the largest podcasting studio in NYC. That's a big deal.

But real talk - Jesse has worked with The Cure, Animal Collective, Limp Bizkit, The Misfits, NOFX, and many more.  He is also known for writing the two of the top rated music books on Amazon, Get More Fans: The DIY Guide To The New Music Business, which details how bands effectively promote their music and Processing Creativity: The Tools, Practices And Habits Used To Make Music You’re Happy With, which has received immense praise for its innovative take on how musicians can make more emotionally powerful music.

How do I know him? His YouTube channel  @Musformation  and his Music Marketing Trends newsletter - both of which are go-to resources for music marketing.

Jesse is an authority and I shot my shot to have him on. He said yes. We chatted about a variety of topics in the music world and Jesse's vast knowledge and perspective produced dozens of nuggets, all available here.
