Building Beats & Connections: NIKMIND’s Intentional Rise Through the Dance Scene

From Winter Music Conference to Worldwide—NIKMIND on Building Momentum, One Beat at a Time

One of my favorite parts of Winter Music Conference is connecting with artists who are living their why—and NIKMIND is a perfect example. Born in Colombia and now thriving in the U.S., NIKMIND brings a refined and minimalistic energy to the world of Techno and House that’s just as intentional as his journey.


In this episode of AMPEDCast, we talked about what it really means to build a career with longevity in the dance music industry. With over six years of experience in production and content creation, he’s not just pressing play—he’s engineering his sound from the ground up. He even mixes and masters his own work (seriously impressive), and his 2024 goal? Release a new track every month and build collaborations with European labels. Now that’s a mission.

“Let people put a face to your music. Be kind. Be open. Be present. That’s where the magic happens.”


That line stuck with me—and I think it’ll stick with you too.


We dove into real talk about burnout, creating intentional connections, and why quality > quantity when it comes to networking. And for NIKMIND, Miami Music Week was more than just a scene—it was a full-circle moment. After attending in 2019, he returned with momentum and purpose, describing the week as a “hub for global music connections.”


So if you’re an artist navigating the highs and lows, or someone looking to make your mark, NIKMIND’s story reminds us all: stay present, stay grounded, and keep showing up.
