After the hit of the pandemic, travel hit a stop for Scoop, and he had to come up with a unique way to keep in touch with his fanbase. From a traditional recording artist, he had to pivot rapidly, turning to Instagram collaborations and a boost in content. Since then he’s seen a nearly 20% rise in his following. Raj and Scoop met over a decade ago and reconnected a few years ago in Dubai and collaborated on a podcast called Other People’s Podcast. They now work together to convert Scoop’s conversations with artists such as Missy Elliot, from his Instagram content into a podcast itself.
