Navigating Creativity and Commerce in Music

Kazim Rashid is an artist, manager, and creative director based in Berlin and London. 

I found out about him through my good friend David Okumu who is our magical, mutual connection.

Aside from his work as a manager, Kazim is chief creative officer at Resident Advisor, the world's largest and most influential electronic music platform. 

His work often focuses on collaborating with artists, record labels, and brands to help them achieve their goals in the music industry.

We get into the current state of things for artists navigating the changing tides of music commerce.

Strap in!

Music for this episode comes from a chap I met in Berlin thanks to Hainbach.

Mr Ayjay Nils plays Viola in the Berlin Phil and is a great improviser :)

A rare combo! He’s also super into weird and wonderful electronic music which is featured in this show. It’s all from an upcoming album

Here’s his Bandcamp to check the action!
