Stephen Kaplan, AKA Kaptain, is a talented EDM producer based in Denver, CO. He's also one of my oldest friends, and has always been a creative inspiration for me.
He started producing electronic music over ten years ago and has now played at major venues across California and Colorado, as well as a secret Electric Forest After Party Set in 2017 that I had the good fortune of attending. Kaptain has opened for artists like Lettuce, Break Science, The Funk Hunters, Big Wild, and Late Night Radio, and brings a unique brand of live music mixed with funky soulful EDM to his high-energy live shows. \\
In this episode, we discuss the creative process, the mindset of a creative, how to improve at your craft, and how to balance your passions with your day job. At the end of the episode, I also share a sneak preview of his latest unreleased track, Strawberry! Enjoy :)
