Vision, Warmups, and How Different Is Too Different

Fresh off the Artist Coaching Retreat, Joey, Jobke, and Ralph break down what actually stuck. The conversation covers why having a career vision matters more than most artists realize, what an A&R session revealed about the gap between good production and a real career, and how far ahead of the curve is too far. Plus: how to warm up for a headliner without burning the crowd out, what to do when a booking does not fit your sound, and the debate over how much of a DJ set should be pre-planned.(00:00) Intro and retreat recap(03:30) What we took away from the retreat(07:00) The production gap is smaller than you think(13:30) Why every artist needs a vision(18:00) Is vision something you develop or something you have(24:00) How different is too different(31:00) Warming up for a headliner(38:00) Pre-planned vs on-the-fly DJ sets(47:00) When the venue does not fit your sound(51:00) Masked DJ acts and branding(54:00) Retreat sign-ups and close
