Musicians @ Their Day Jobs

At Seerfest 2019, Seer’s own Senior Creative Manager Kristen Bigness framed her talk about how to build a culture of data-driven design around her experience as a musician.

It got me thinking about how often music runs parallel to our professional lives. By day, @coreyweb runs Knucklepuck’s Web team but by earlier-in-the-day he manages the largest website for bass players on the web (220k+ visits/month).

@triodeofficial is a Google engineer, @alexsnydermusic of Fat Brando is a technical writer, and I wake up every Monday morning to write 1,200 words for dozens of adoring fans.

Hell, even the CEO of Goldman Sachs is a freaking DJ. Seriously, there’s a Rolling Stone article that opens with the question: Do earnings calls slap?

If you’re rolling your eyes and thinking “that’s all well and good but DJ D-Sol is the exception to the rule,” this OOTO message was the icebreaker that helped KP close a national bank managing over $7B in assets:

Music is humanizing, it offers a kind of approachable intimacy that connects us on a primal level. If you can channel this energy toward your professional endeavors, you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve.
