London-based DJ, producer and multi-instrumentalist Kiimi joins the Artist Breakthrough Podcast to talk about their journey from classical music training to playing some of the UK’s most exciting underground dance floors.
In this episode, Kiimi shares how learning multiple instruments shaped their musical identity, why they refuse to be boxed into one genre, and how lockdown became the unexpected moment that pushed them into DJing and electronic music.
We also dive into building a career in the modern dance scene, the importance of community in club culture, navigating social media as an artist, and why financial stability is a topic the music industry doesn’t talk about enough.
Kiimi also discusses launching Club Hunni, their initiative supporting FLINTA producers and artists, and reflects on the realities of breaking through as an independent artist in today’s music landscape.
If you're an aspiring producer, DJ, or artist trying to find your sound, this conversation is packed with honest insights and advice.
