Music first piqued Jamis DeKay's interest when his Mom played him classic rock albums as a 6 year old. Today, Jamis is pursuing his own music full-time as a part of ifsowhatfor, an indietronic duo. He also recently toured as a bassist with Dogpark - an indie rock band - on their spring 2025 tour. Before pursuing his own music full-time, Jamis was a talent manager at Hallwood media and had released a single and EP under the name mohw. Tune in to hear about Jamis' journey in the music industry, how his experience working in talent management developed his understanding of the industry, and his outlook prior to going on tour with Dogpark in spring 2025.
