Since Cascada's inception in 2004, they have sold more than 30 million records worldwide. In 2013, Cascada represented Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest and are the third most successful acts from Germany of the 21st century. Furthermore, their music was the most downloaded in dance music after David Guetta and has garnered more than 1 billion views on YouTube with 200 million of them for “Everytime We Touch.”I've been a diehard fan of Cascada since the release of Everytime We Touch in 2006. I've supported them (did you know there are three members?) through 'Everytime We Touch,' 'Perfect Day,' 'Evacuate The Dancefloor,' and now. Recently I've been blasting “What Do You Want From Me” on my commutes home from work.Their music changed my life and are the reason I am in the music industry, and I can't even begin to explain how overjoyed I was to conduct this interview for When Life Hands You Lennons.

Lennon Cihak, music journalist for Earmilk, Magnetic Magazine, Digital Music News and more, gives advice on the do's and don'ts for getting your music covered in the media.

A common thing we always hear in the music industry, “it’s all about relationships.” I’ve always said that promoting shows is the ultimate gateway drug into the music business and building relationships because you get to work with venues, agents, managers, publicists, labels, and artists. However, promoting shows comes with huge risk. You could fall on your face, and lose a ton of money. Lennon Cihak is an example of being genuine, organized, and putting in really hard work can build a massive network. As of the release of this episode, he is a recent college grad from Full Sail University and is already build a powerful network through writing for blogs. Lennon Cihak is a writer for EDM.com, Noiseporn, Magnetic Magazine, and Digital Music News. He’s also started his own blog EDMinaSoda, where he explores his writing covering other interests in the world of EDM. In this episode, you’ll learn about Lennon’s journey, how he organized his homework schedule so he could take on more projects, how to build genuine relationships, how to get write-ups on music blogs, and much more. Lennon is already doing some amazing things, and he hasn’t even scratched the surface of his potential. He’s approaching the music business with a positive attitude, hustle, and with kindness, and therefore, has built a great network.
