In this episode, DJ sensation and producer Steve Aoki joins us to talk about his early days throwing underground LA parties with legends like Lady Gaga, Kid Cudi, Kanye, Diplo, and M.I.A., and how those moments led to his rise as one of electronic music’s most iconic names. Steve also opens up about his health and wellness journey, the routines that keep him grounded, and finding balance amid the chaos. We dive into his Japanese roots, his upbringing, and the deep influence of his parents — especially the support from his mother. From inspirations like Pharrell and Tiësto to stories from his legendary Vegas house, this conversation spans the globe and Steve’s crazy journey.
