NOX: Festival Season PSA

My recent experiences as an artist have been nothing short of exhilarating and transformative. The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of preparation and anticipation, as I've eagerly geared up for three diverse and thrilling shows.

Firstly, I was given the opportunity to perform at Breakaway Festival's silent disco in Columbus, Ohio. I have been especially excited to play the silent disco because the concept of playing music while attendees dance through their personalized headphones seems like a fun experience! In preparation for this set, I have meticulously curated my set list and tirelessly practiced my transitions to ensure that my transitions between tracks are not just seamless, but inspiring. Additionally, I have been very successful at my promoting

responsibilities. So far, I have sold over $3500 worth of tickets earning me the spot as the 7th highest grossing promoter for the Breakaway Ohio team (and I don’t even live in Ohio, Ha!).

Next, I have the opportunity to support bass artist, Xotix, at Gilt Nightclub in Orlando, Florida. This opportunity has been both an honor and a challenge. The prospect of sharing the stage with a respected artist has pushed me to craft a set that seamlessly blends Xotix’s bass-heavy vibes, while still reflecting my own musical identity. This experience has reaffirmed the importance of adaptability and the power of collaboration within the music industry.

Finally, being selected to play at the silent disco for Haunted Fest in Columbus, Ohio was quite a shock. This opportunity is exciting because I get to share the stage alongside headliners like Deadmau5 and Loud Luxury. The gravity of sharing a lineup with such industry giants has fueled my dedication to preparing an unforgettable set. The meticulous curation of my set list, coupled with the relentless promotion of the event, has become a testament to my commitment as both an artist and a promoter.

The culmination of these gigs has illuminated the multifaceted nature of being a musician in today's landscape. From engaging with the audience through the intimacy of the silent disco to rising to the challenge of supporting established artists, each show has enriched my understanding of my craft and my place within the industry.

As I reflect on the past weeks, I'm excited to carry the momentum from my preparation into the forthcoming events. These experiences have ignited a fire within me, propelling me to continue refining my skills, embracing new opportunities, and contributing my unique voice to the vibrant world of music.
