Shazam Counts Are One of the Most Valuable Metrics in Music Marketing

If you distribute your music to streaming platforms, you probably spend time looking at your analytics. Monthly listeners, streams, followers, saves, playlist adds, and audience demographics all provide valuable information. They’re useful metrics that can help you understand how your music is performing.

Turntables and Taboos: How DJs Manage Explicit Lyrics

East Idaho is full of Mormons. Lot’s of ’em. And if you know anything about Mormons, it’s likely you know that they are generally adverse to cussing. You know, swear words. The f-words, n-words, s-words, b-words, etc. They don’t like them. And, there is really nothing wrong with that. After all, not everybody enjoys hearing obscene, insulting, and derogatory language. Especially during important events like weddings and receptions.

How and Why I Use AI In My Music Production

I am working on a project for a label and I have used AI for assistance in creating said project. And, I’ll be honest, it’s a track for Prognosis.

I can hear it now – “oh my GOD, Chad, how COULD YOU?!?!?! AI?!?!?!”

That’s a perfectly valid response. After all, you know and I know that Dan and his crew wouldn’t stand for that shit.

Chad Dj’d for my wedding and we couldn’t have been happier. We weren’t able to coordinate with Chad as much as normal since we were so busy putting together all the last minute things for our wedding, but Chad was very self-sufficient and professional, working with little guidance to create the perfect music set for our wedding. He also was extremely helpful with a lot of the sound-related logistics of the wedding

We hired Chad (The Idahoan) to Dj our wedding. I was not disappointed in the slightest. He had the dance floor packed, great to work with, price for what he does is extremely reasonable and had a great variety of music. It was like he knew us when it came to music! I would hire him again and again! It was perfect! Thank you Chad!!

Chad was fantastic as the DJ for our 40th Anniversary Celebration of the Fall Arts Festival on the Cloudveil Rooftop. One of the guests enjoyed his performance so much that they got him to stay an extra hour to keep the party going! He arrived early to set up and delivered an outstanding show. 10 out of 10—would definitely book him again!

Chad did an amazing job at my wedding this last June. He was very professional and helped everything run very smoothly. Our guests LOVED him! He was definitely able to keep the party going and I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for DJ services!

We didn't end up using this company for our wedding and I was terrible about letting them know we decided on a different route. And even though I was awful about communicating they reached out and made sure I no longer required their services before they booked a different client. That makes me believe they're a stand up company.

The Idahoan is the most professional DJ in southeastern Idaho. He brings the right vibes every time, and he can read a crowd like no other. Absolutely, without a doubt, this man deserves accolades and will do right by you.

Chad did an awesome job DJ'ing our ceremony and reception. He was super easy to work with and listened to my wishes. My only regret was not having him longer. He kept the party rolling!

We had a great time at our wedding and appreciate how DJ Chad would check in with us to ensuring the sound was a good level. DJ Chad was also great at announcing and keeping the event on timeline. We would recommend using DJ Chad for your events.
