DJ Krosfader On How To Find Your Niche As A DJ

As an artist, your craft gives you a chance to decide whether you can target a niche or a large audience. While targeting the latter ensures you get to perform in front of a lot of people, staying true to the former gets you closer to your target audience’s hearts and minds. Well, this difference can be best exemplified by movies. While the massy, commercial movies earn a lot of money and get a lot of attention, it is the small, indie and critically acclaimed ones that sweep all the awards! Such is the story of Kushagra popularly known as Krosfader, a 31-year-old DJ and Producer from Pune, who is now a successful performer in Bangalore.
