The Chainsmokers - Alex Pall & Drew Taggart: Music as a Startup

Episode Summary

Hacking music and hype, finding fame and breaking into venture

Episode Notes

In this episode I get “Closer” with Alex Pall and Drew Taggart, known to the world as the DJ duo The Chainsmokers. I love the energy that Alex and Drew bring to everything they do, and this podcast was no exception.

 

In a fun discussion, we talk about the early days of hacking Hype Machine to launch their careers, breaking out with Selfie, becoming Grammy winning musicians and DJs, the ups and downs of music and facing depression, and what they look for in founders they invest in. Join us in a first interview and open discussion the duo has had since announcing their social media hiatus this year.
