Knowing the challenges of the industry, Veronique launched SolSync to help event and music professionals achieve a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle.
In this session, Benny Rodrigues and Veronique will dive into the secrets behind enduring career, from his intrinsic motivation to educate and engage the dance floor with music culture, to his disciplined approach to navigating the ever-evolving electronic music landscape. Exploring how he balances his passion for producing cutting-edge tracks with a deliberate and thoughtful engagement with social media and technology.
Having performed at iconic venues such as Space Ibiza, Cafe d’ Anvers in Antwerp, and the Detroit Electronic Music Festival, Benny's global experience and commitment to his craft offer a compelling look into the life of a DJ who has stood the test of time. This session is a must for anyone curious about the intersection of mindfulness and music, and how a thoughtful approach can sustain a career in the fast-paced world of electronic music.
