Becoming FIFA’s Head DJ: From Zero Connections to Global Stages w/ Grayson Repp
March 3, 2026 · 60 min
Grayson Repp went from broke in Berlin during COVID to head DJ and music director for FIFA events, with zero industry connections.
We talk about why relationships matter more than talent, how bringing donuts to promoters landed him big gigs, why being in the room changes everything, and the mindset shift that got him producing after 10 years of DJing.
In the second half we get into how he turned playlist curation into a new income stream. He doubled his Spotify followers, built a 10,000-person email list, and earned €800 in the first month.
