• 2:36 Would she recommend Your Shot for others
• 3:20 The difference between a DJ and a music producer
• 4:30 How she became a signed artist and why you shouldn’t rush it
• 5:36 The role of a manager and how to find the right one
• 7:04 The difference between a manager and an agent
• 7:41 Is a personal brand important
• 9:16 Challenges of touring internationally
• 10:01 Career highlights and how she joined Tiesto’s tour
• 10:46 Hardest parts of her career and the industry
• 11:44 How to get started DJing
• 13:05 Things she wish she knew or would have done differently (her missing footnotes)

Like music but can’t produce anything good to save yourself? Maybe you should organise music festivals instead?
