Today we’d like to introduce you to Jordan Miller.
Hi Jordan, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I got started DJing in college, just playing small bars and figuring it out as I went. It wasn’t some big plan at first, I just loved music and the energy of being in front of a crowd. But I stuck with it, kept improving, and those small gigs slowly turned into bigger opportunities.
Over the past few years, it’s really taken off. I’ve had the chance to share stages with artists like John Summit, Dillon Francis, and Steve Aoki, and perform at events like the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix and Austin City Limits Music Festival. I’ve also toured across the U.S. and Canada, playing clubs, theaters, and larger stages.
On the production side, my music has passed 10 million streams, with strong playlist support and a growing audience, which has been a big milestone.
Beyond performing, I’ve also focused on building experiences and community, whether that’s hosting events in Austin or creating moments where people are actually engaged, not just listening.
What ties it all together is I’m very execution-focused. I like creating things that have real momentum and keep building on that.
Right now, everything’s starting to connect. I’ve built a strong foundation, and I’m focused on scaling it into bigger shows, a bigger audience, and more impact.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Definitely not a smooth road. Early on, it was a grind just to get opportunities, playing for little or no money, trying to get booked, and figuring out how to stand out in a really crowded space.
Even as things started picking up, there were different challenges. Touring sounds great, but it can be exhausting, constant travel, inconsistent schedules, and having to perform at a high level no matter what. There’s also a lot of uncertainty. Some shows are packed and amazing, others don’t hit the same, and you have to stay consistent through both.
On the music side, there’s pressure too. You can have a track do really well, like hitting millions of streams, and then feel like you have to top it every time. Not everything works, and you learn quickly that consistency matters more than any one moment.
I’ve also had to learn the business side on my own, building relationships, creating opportunities instead of waiting for them, and staying patient when things don’t move as fast as you want.
But I think those challenges are what actually build the foundation. They force you to adapt, stay disciplined, and keep showing up. That’s really been the biggest difference.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I’m a DJ and producer, and I run a project called Mixmode. It’s about blending genres and turning a set into a live experience. I incorporate electric guitar into my sets, which adds a human element and creates a real connection with the crowd. It feels like a show, not just someone playing songs.
The sound leans into Country EDM. Country brings storytelling, nostalgia, and that singalong factor. EDM brings energy and release. When you combine them, people feel it and go crazy at the same time. That’s why it’s working right now.
There’s also a strong friendship behind it. My partner Kristian and I started in college, playing empty amphitheaters like they were packed, just getting reps in and visualizing it. Now we’re actually touring and seeing those same moments play out for real.
What I’m most proud of is building something people genuinely connect with, not just music, but an experience.
What sets me apart is I don’t just DJ, I engineer energy. I focus on how a crowd feels, how to create peaks, and how to make moments stick, then I actually build around it and execute.
Before we let you go, we’ve got to ask if you have any advice for those who are just starting out?
Make your own opportunities and be ready to take them. A lot of people sit around waiting for the perfect moment, but most of this comes from just taking a shot.
We ended up doing a 17-city tour across the U.S. and Canada because I sent one DM to the right person. That’s it. One message turned into a full run. But once the opportunity came, it was on us to say yes and then do whatever it took to deliver.
That’s the part people don’t see. It’s not just getting the opportunity, it’s being ready for it and putting in the work to make it real.
So my advice is simple, take the leap, create opportunities instead of waiting for them, and when something opens up, say yes and figure it out after.
