From Combat Boots to Club Beats: Jaxx Noveira’s Unstoppable Journey

Winter Music Conference 2025: The Hub for Artists From Across the Globe

There’s a certain kind of electricity in the air at Winter Music Conference—a sense that anything can happen. That’s exactly what I felt when I sat down with Jaxx Noveira, a rising Tech House and UK Garage DJ who’s been shaking up dance floors on both sides of the Atlantic.


Born in the Netherlands and now soaking in the creative sunshine of LA, Jaxx’s story is anything but typical. Before his name was on festival flyers, it was stitched onto a military uniform. Yep—he literally traded combat boots for club beats.



While most of us unwind after work with Netflix or takeout, Jaxx was teaching himself music production during breaks on the training range. Talk about dedication. Eventually, the passion took over, and he made the bold choice to leave the military and go all-in on music. That decision? Game-changing.

“Go all in or nothing. If you do it halfway, you get half the results.”


That’s Jaxx’s motto—and honestly, it’s the kind of advice that sticks with you.


We talked about how grit, vision, and saying yes to the unknown led him to where he is now. Even when the world said “no,” he kept pushing. And during Miami Music Week, those “yes” moments started showing up fast. “You never know who you’ll meet,” he said. That’s the magic of this industry—face-to-face connections can open the biggest doors.


Now he’s preparing to head back to Europe with a refined sound, built from both the culture of Amsterdam and the momentum of LA’s vibrant music scene.

Whether you're an up-and-coming artist, a music lover, or someone dreaming of that leap, Jaxx’s story is your reminder: keep going. Your ‘yes’ is coming.

From the moment Goshfather walked into the room, the energy shifted. With his iconic red jacket, larger than life personality, and an unmistakable love for music, he brought the kind of presence that makes people lean in before the conversation even begins. For this episode of Redefining Music, we invited a small audience of DJs and producers to join us for the live experience. They listened, asked questions, and became part of a conversation that felt less like a traditional interview and more like a room full of artists reminding one another why they started. There was laughter. There were hard truths. There were stories of failure, reinvention, and persistence. More than anything, there was honesty.  Goshfather has a way of speaking that makes you feel like anything is possible, as long as you are willing to stop waiting, trust what you love, and finish the work.

The Electronic Dance Music Awards had a new home in 2026. For the first time the ceremony landed at The Clevelander South Beach on Ocean Drive, right in the middle of Miami Music Week and just ahead of Ultra weekend. The energy was different in the best way. No stiff award show format. No long acceptance speeches. Winners came up, grabbed their Deck trophy, and the party kept moving. Amplify EDM was on the red carpet. Kay Cote and Ay Kaye were out there the whole night catching artists as they came through.

The opportunity to share my story on Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino came about shortly after Amplify EDM events started taking off! Today, I want to share not just my story, but also how you can turn your dreams into reality, no matter where you are starting from. My journey—from the open plains of North Dakota to the heart of Austin’s EDM scene—was full of twists and turns, but each challenge pushed me toward growth, discovery, and transformation. If you're feeling stuck or unsure of your path, I hope my story will inspire you to take that leap and chase your dreams.
