"My Dream Still Isn’t Enough to Sustain Me" — Tomorrowland DJ Annabel Stop It | find your frequency

Annabel Stop It had already tried to make it in music once. Community radio in Brixton. A show on Radar Radio. She gave it everything, couldn’t pay her rent, and walked away. Took a 9-to-5. Put the DJ dream in a drawer.

Then during lockdown, she set up a Twitch stream with no plan and started playing for whoever would listen. Four years later: 6.5 million views on a single set, Leeds Festival to 20,000 people, a Tomorrowland debut, an Adidas partnership, and a community that shows up every two weeks like clockwork.

In this episode, Annabel talks about why you have to be bad to start with, the set she almost didn’t go to that changed everything, what it felt like to cry backstage at Leeds, why her dream still isn’t enough to sustain her financially, and how she manages a community of thousands by name.

Community questions from TheEnough (@theenough_official), Plaedoha (@plaedoha), and Peint (@Peint_oficial).

Si eres nuevo en mi canal, mi nombre es Alexiomar Rodríguez, soy abogado y socio fundador de Xiola. Somos una firma legal boutique para la industria de la música y el entretenimiento. Trabajamos con artistas, empresarios e inversionistas. Les ayudamos a negociar y cerrar contratos de seis y siete cifras. En 2025, conseguimos $5M para nuestros clientes sin sacrificar derechos, control, ni libertad.

Cómo llegué aquí…

0–21: Músico, productor, guitarrista y cantautor (+10,000 oyentes mensuales en Spotify).
22: Graduado con Altos Honores en Economía (UPRM).
24: Trabajé con jueces (federal y estatal) y firmas de litigio corporativo.
25: Graduado con Altos Honores en Derecho (UPR).
26: Renuncié a una de las top 3 firmas de Puerto Rico para lanzar Xiola.
27: Facturé mis primeros $100,000.
28: Fundé Seed Academy, escuela de music business en español.
29: Escribí un best seller en Amazon (De Artista a Empresario Musical) y superé $400K en revenue.
30: Me mudé a EE.UU., levanté $250,000 con Techstars + Warner + VC, y lancé Flou, software de contratos musicales ($50,000 en ventas).
31: Comencé a dar charlas internacionales.
32: Seguí el consejo de mi mentor, Alex Hormozi. Cerré Seed Academy y Flou. Me enfoqué en Xiola y facturamos más de $500,000. 

Hoy: Nuestra firma ha cerrado sobre $5M en adelantos e inversión en la industria de la música y el entretenimiento. Somos 100% bilingües (español e inglés). Trabajamos con artistas, empresarios e inversionistas americanos e hispanos. Cobramos de tres maneras: tarifa fija, comisión, y suscripción. Así es como hacemos nuestro dinero. No vendemos cursos. 

La industria musical es dura. Pero si naciste para esto, lo sabes:

La vida sin música sería un error.

No te quites,

Alexiomar

How Nickelodeon Betrayed SpongeBob’s Creator

Modern SpongeBob Sucks. But most people don’t know that the show was supposed to end 20 years ago after season 3. It’s creator, Stephen Hillenburg, did not want the show to become a never-ending franchise. And after he died, Nickelodeon turned it into something completely unrecognizable.
