He almost quit music. Then Martin Garrix supported his track, and everything changed.
In this episode, I talk with Marc “Arcando” Bandecchi, who opens up about the moment he almost gave up in 2023… and how staying consistent and authentic brought his career back to life.
We break down how his “Jungle” remix took off, what led to his collab “Set Me Free” with Martin Garrix, and the mindset shift that helped him fall back in love with producing again.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, lost motivation, or questioned whether it’s all worth it, this one’s for you.
