Releasing a top Billboard album is a significant achievement for any artist. It doesn’t matter whether you are a newbie or veteran in the game; having a successful album will always come with an unmatched sense of fulfillment each time. This is perhaps one of the major reasons artists invest lots of hours in coming up with their albums. Creativity, innovation, and musical versatility are among the top skills an artist displays through an album, not to forget cementing their position in the music game.
However, releasing a top Billboard album or single can be a tough hurdle. It’s even tougher for artists with no prior experience or those making a comeback. But rising against the odds and changing the narrative is the producer and DJ Kristan de Graaf.
Kristan is a talented DJ and producer making a comeback in the industry. He is a multiple platinum award-winning DJ/producer on Spotify with big collaborations with the top DJs in the world. Kristan made headlines in 2013 as the youngest DJ to be crowned No.1 DJ and Asia’s Most Talented DJ at age 18, a title he held for three consecutive years. As one of the world’s most recognized faces on the festival circuit, he became popular for his electric sets at the likes of Ultra and Tomorrowland.
It was a triumphant display at the Asia Ultra Music Festival when the dance music pioneer surprised the 80,000-strong crowd to close out the main stage. After a decade of touring and producing music, Kristan announced in October 2018 that he was taking a break from the festival circuit. His decision was a great shock to his fans.
But after what seemed like decades of absence, Kristan is finally making a comeback. To the delight of his fans, Kristan has hit the stage running, and he is swiftly rising to the mainstream with his thrilling releases. The talented DJ and producer is expected to hit the top of the charts with his new album, Palabras.
Kristan is a multi-talented individual who thinks that anyone can achieve their goals. The goal is to discover what you are actually enthusiastic about and want to do. Following your passion keeps you motivated and excited to get up every day and do what you need to do. It doesn’t matter how large your aspirations are; what matters is that you stay focused and keep working hard. Some may doubt your abilities, especially in the beginning. This, however, should serve as motivation to keep pushing forward. Challenges will inevitably come your way, dragging you back, but you must never surrender. Kristan’s advice is to continuously work hard to improve yourself.
Kristan is convinced that with a precisely articulated approach, he will be able to achieve even higher levels of success. The goal is to rule the entertainment industry by being the best DJ and producer. He also hopes to collaborate with other industry leaders, not only to expand his network but also to assist them in realizing their ambitions. In the coming years, Kristan De Graaf hopes to extend his business by showcasing the unique boats and supercars under his brand. This involves developing and extending his music brand.
