It's certainly striking, but the world is full of surprises like that. Goldman Sachs' CEO is an EDM DJ with 550,000 monthly Spotify listeners. He performs at nighclubs and music festivals, gets plays on Sirius XM, and his tracks chart on Billboard.

Have you heard his music? Almost everyone I've clubbed with, DJ'd with, learnt from, etc all universally say his music fucking sucks. I doubt people listen to him for the quality of his music, than wannabe IBankers looking for inspiration or something (and there was no shortage of analysts at GS who would listen to his shit for vibes or something).

It's a big world, so if you find the right platform for your best talent, you could become the next "surprise" too.
