What artists say about UNFILTERED.

US TWO

@UsTwoMusic_

When we changed our name from Craig & Grant Gordon to Us Two, Andrew helped us by adding some life into the campaign. This gave us a huge boost in our engagement. We won the ANTS: Next Gen mix series, had a huge hit record on Eastenderz called 'What's Your Name?', reaching #1 on Beatport and our best performing record on Spotify. Thanks for all your help, Andrew!

FIRZA

@Firza_Music

Andrew has helped us up our social game. His knowledge of Instagram and TikTok, how/when to use the platform has helped us increase engagement and build a bigger following.


They played a huge role in us winning the ANTS: Next Gen mix series and helped us sign our biggest record to a dream label. If you're feeling lost around how to push your socials then you should absolutely work with these guys. Thanks for all the help! 🎷

BLIMEY O'REILLY

@blimeyoreillydj

Socially Sound and UNFILTERED has worked as a great platform to boost my career.


I have learnt new things to implement into my own personal brand, and will continue to use these and grow.

ZYNK

@zynk_uk

The best thing I did is get help with my socials. UNFILTERED is more than just social media - I'm now ticking off my goals, getting support from Enzo Siragusa, Archie Hamilton and Alisha. My following and network have quadrupled in the last year. I couldn't recommend working with Andrew enough.

I met Andrew in 2014 in Ibiza. We began working on my social strategy in January 2024. In my first month, my engagement on Instagram increased by 34%. I started getting more bookings, DMs and had the biggest summer of my career so far.

UNFILTERED has given me a very clear understanding of the steps needed to move forward and progress in this industry. I feel like it’s given me purpose when it comes to tackling socials and my personal brand.


I’d highly recommend the course for anyone that feels they need some direction and accountability along with a solid support system

AFOXX

@afoxx.dj

Joining UNFILTERED is hands down the best decision I’ve made for my DJ career. Every weekly session left me inspired and equipped with practical guidance that I could immediately apply. Even while living in the U.S., I felt genuinely connected to a global community of like-minded artists who share the same passion and drive. The value of being surrounded by people who truly get it—and want to see you win—can’t be overstated.

PIPES

@pipesdj

I loved working with the guys at Socially Sound. They're straight to the point, no messing, honest people. Between them, they have a wealth of knowledge that guides you through your next steps as an artist. The support is wicked. Andrew and Jake are both friendly guys who actually care about helping artists.

I met Andrew at Amsterdam Dance Event while I was DJing in 2022. He has been supporting me ever since, encouraging me and helping me navigate my career. After leaving my booking agency in summer of 2024, Andrew's guidance helped me to start my own brand 'Nostos', throw my own events and helped me join my new booking agency ahead of my move to Berlin. Thank you, Andrew for all your help so far!

YAZZMIN

@yazzminmusic

Andrew's mentorship has been amazing. He has given me so many ideas for content and helped me plan towards my long-term goals. When I released my set from Es Vedra in Ibiza, he helped me distribute it on Instagram and TikTok to increase views on YouTube.

JAMIE MILLER

@jamiemiller.music

Having inside industry knowledge at your finger tips with proven track records across multiple social media platforms, Andrew and Jake allowed me to grow my socials with clear, realistic goals that aligned well with my current lifestyle!

NXT OF KIN

@nxtofkin_

Andrew will tell you how it is without beating around the bush whether you like it or not. But then he will educate you in detail on the matter, whether it be music or life in general. From online marketing to music etiquette and approaching different situations, he knows everything about everything.
