This week on Diamond Cast, we’re talking about what it really takes to build a lasting connection with your audience—from growing a fanbase organically to navigating platforms like TikTok. We also share a major update on the music video for Fall Into The Silence and reflect on the stories behind our songs, why they matter, and how we communicate that meaning live.

In this episode:

- Growing a fanbase organically vs. blowing up on TikTok

- Behind-the-scenes updates for Fall Into The Silence video backers

- Why explaining the meaning behind songs matters more than ever

- How to find the right people to help bring your creative vision to life

- Studio update: Tomorrow marks the final day of guitar tracking!

- The most important life lesson we’ve learned from touring

- If we weren’t musicians… what would we be doing instead?

- Your comments from last week’s advice episode

- What we’ve each been practicing this week

- Healthy habits we’ve picked up recently

- What we’re most looking forward to right now

Drop us a comment: Do you think slow growth builds a stronger fanbase than viral success? And how do you stay inspired creatively?
