I mean it's funny, because I think back to Djing and making music, but Djing too it's the same kind of thing, like you kind of have to be honest and spontaneous to the moment of what's happening in the room that you're in, because you can have an idea of like.
Picture this: you're in a crowded club, the music is thumping, and the DJ is in complete control of the vibe. But what you might not see is the inner journey that DJ is on. In this episode of 'Wolf In Tune', Richard 'Wolfie' Wolf chats with Grammy-nominated DJ and producer Ned Shepard, who shares his unique blend of music and mindfulness.
Ned, one half of the duo Sultan + Shepard, has crafted hits for big names like David Guetta and Tiesto and remixed tracks for stars like Lady Gaga and Ed Sheeran. But beyond the glitz and glam, Ned opens up about his struggles with performance anxiety and how he uses meditation to find his center. Ever wondered how DJs keep their cool while performing at massive festivals like Tomorrowland and Ultra?
Ned reveals the Zen approach he takes to DJ'ing, turning each set into a meditative experience. He also dives into the world of club culture, describing it as a place of connection and community rather than just a party scene. Through his candid reflections, you'll gain insights into how honesty and spontaneity play crucial roles in both his music and mindfulness practices. The conversation also touches on the importance of repetition in finding mental clarity.
Whether you're a musician dealing with high-stress environments or someone looking to deepen your mindfulness practice, this episode offers valuable takeaways. With stories from his global tours and his thoughts on the next Sultan + Shepard album, Ned brings a refreshing perspective on balancing life in the fast lane with inner peace. So if you're curious about how music can be more than just entertainment but a pathway to mindfulness, tune in to hear Ned Shepard's inspiring journey.
