In this episode of Behind The Decks we checked back in for third time with a VENT favourite, Snowdream.
Elliot is someone who has gone from strength to strength in the last few years we've been checking in with him.
The first time we checked in, in July 2020 we discussed his music journey, music perfectionism culture and his bisexuality.
In Part 2, in June 2023, he had started a new adventure on TikTok making comedy mash-ups. We talked about his experience of doing his first ever live DJ set at Just Checking In Live #4 (Take Two), his debut album ‘Open Space’ and how he planned to balance being an artist and social media influencer.
In the last two years, Elliot has grown his TikTok following to over 143k followers, and has over 114k followers on Instagram too!
We discuss that explosion in popularity and the hard work and consistency which is at the heart of it, his mash-up albums he has put out on Bandcamp, and also moving into producing UK Garage music as an artist.
We also discuss his decision to move into music full-time, but then having to go back into full-time work to make ends meet.
For Elliot’s continued mental health journey, we discuss his experience of his first ever panic attack in July 2024, some CBT therapy he did afterwards which he accessed via the NHS and how he manages his mental health now.
As always, #itsokaytovent
