Becoming FIFA’s Head DJ: From Zero Connections to Global Stages w/ Grayson Repp
from More Than Streams w/ Finch Bergling · host Finch Bergling
In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with global DJ Grayson Repp – the official DJ and music director for FIFA events, now heading to the Olympics, with over 2 million streams and performances in front of millions worldwide. We break down how he went from broke in Berlin during COVID to becoming FIFA’s head DJ – without industry connections, just relentless networking and saying yes to opportunities. Grayson shares why relationships matter more than talent, how bringing donuts to promoters landed him major gigs, and why being “in the room” changes everything. We also talk about the role of social media in 2026, why one video can change your career, and the mindset shift that helped him finally start producing after 10 years of DJing. In the second half, we dive into how he turned playlist curation into a new income stream - doubling his Spotify followers, building a 10,000-person email list, and earning €800 in the first month – all while focusing on building assets, not just streams. This episode is about longevity: networking, health, discipline, ownership, and building a real music career that goes far beyond numbers.Resources and links:🧩 Free 100-page marketing guide🧩 Become a Successful Playlist Curator Course🧩 Your First Hit Song ProgramConnect with Finch:🧩 Finch on Instagram🧩 Subscribe to my Weekly Newsletter🧩 Also on YouTubeConnect with Grayson Repp:🧩 Grayson on Instagram🧩 Grayson on Spotify
