About this listen

Most artists think saying yes to every opportunity is how you build a career. ANATTA proves the opposite is true.

Since our last conversation, ANATTA has mastered one of the hardest skills in this industry - strategic rejection. He turns down more bookings than he accepts, including clubs he's been dying to play and gigs that could pay six months of rent. This isn't about being difficult or playing hard to get. It's about understanding that every yes to the wrong opportunity blocks you from the right one.

In this conversation, ANATTA breaks down his approach to selective booking, reveals his genius content creation hack that involves ditching your phone entirely, and explains how fashion and visual identity play into building a recognizable brand in dance music.

Key Takeaways:

→ The camcorder hack for creating better tour content without distractions
→ How to know when to turn down bookings
→ Why planning content while traveling beats scrambling for posts later
→ The real reason top artists say no more than they say yes
→ How fashion choices impact your brand identity as a producer

If you're struggling with FOMO around opportunities or don't know which bookings to take, this episode will shift your entire approach to career strategy.
