Podcast Overview:

TEED came on the podcast for a seriously honest conversation about music, pressure, expectations and what it actually feels like to be an artist right now.

We spoke about the culture shift in dance music, the pressure of social media, the reality of self-releasing, regrets from early deals, partying, burnout, artist expectations, and why making albums still matters. This was one of those conversations that goes way deeper than just music industry chat.

We also got into his new album, the creative process behind it, how he approaches finishing music now, and why he has let go of chasing numbers.

In this episode we talk about:

• Why streaming numbers do not tell the full story
• How social media changed DJ and club culture
• The pressure artists put on themselves
• Regrets around deals, negotiation and early career choices
• Why releasing music feels so hard right now
• The difference between club music and album music
• Why self-releasing gives more freedom
• The value of making art that actually means something
