Rolling Stone Magazine Called Him "The Future of Music"
Here's a conversation with Ari Elkins (@arielkins), my podcast guest this week on That One Time with Adam Metwally.
Ari is a renowned music curator, content creator, and founder of Blue Suede Records. He’s built a career on discovering new artists and helping them grow their audience through social media and his record label. His content has captivated millions, and his ability to create personal connections through music is unmatched.
Below are some of the key concepts we explored in the episode:
How Ari transformed his love for music into a thriving media company, and why authenticity is key to building a strong community.
The challenges of balancing the life of a creator with being present in real life and how Ari navigates negativity in the digital space.
The emotional power of music and its ability to transport us back to specific moments in time.
