In this episode, we sit down with Infekt, an EDM artist who turned his pas­sion for music into a full-time career. From his cre­ative begin­nings to the rush of fes­ti­val crowds, Infekt opens up about life behind the decks, the mile­stones that defined his jour­ney, and the moment he left his day job to pur­sue music.

We dive into the real­i­ties of tour­ing, stay­ing healthy on the road, and the con­fi­dence it takes to bat­tle imposter syn­drome. Infekt also shares what it was like to col­lab­o­rate with Marsh­mel­lo, the sto­ry behind his name and brand, and his biggest advice for new artists: always enjoy the process. Packed with ener­gy, inspi­ra­tion, and raw reflec­tions, this con­ver­sa­tion offers a behind-the-scenes look at the mind­set and music of Infekt.

On this episode of the 204 Rise Pod­cast, we sat down with vio­lin­ist and career musi­cian Allan Palmer, whose jour­ney start­ed as a young busker on the streets of Win­nipeg. Now per­form­ing across wed­dings, events, and live shows, Allan has made a name for him­self with his soul­ful take on vio­lin music.

We talked about the dif­fer­ences between play­ing for a packed crowd vs. an inti­mate cer­e­mo­ny, the sur­pris­ing cul­ture behind clas­si­cal music and vio­lin cir­cles, and his pas­sion for break­ing the tra­di­tion­al mold to explore new musi­cal direc­tions. Oh, and did we men­tion he mod­els on the side?

Allan also gave us a live in-stu­dio per­for­mance — a moment you don’t want to miss.
