She’s a DJ. She’s a violinist. She’s built a thriving career performing for high-end corporate events — all while staying grounded and generous in an industry that isn’t always either. In this episode, I’m joined by the fabulous DJ Lexey to talk about what it’s like to wear two hats on stage, how she found her way back to violin after stepping away for years, and the practical ways she balances content creation, gig prep, and collaboration with other artists. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to build a career that’s both glamorous and sustainable, this one’s for you.

Before the first guest walks in, the performance has already begun. In this episode, I’m walking you through everything that needs to happen before you ever play a note — from packing and parking to soundcheck, setup, and getting glam. I’ll share the real-life story of a chaotic wedding gig in Nashville that could’ve gone sideways (but didn’t), plus the exact prep process I teach all the violinists on my team. Whether it’s your first event or your hundredth, this episode will help you walk in confident, calm, and fully in control. Let’s get you set up to shine.
