Great music tells a story. Exceptional music tells you who the artist is. More than just a creative brain, it takes sharp business instincts, plenty of support and a hell of a lot of persistence to make your mark as a musician.   Dustin Burnett - or Zayde Wolf, as the music industry knows him - took a usual route to writing, producing and playing, right up until he leaned into an improvised alter ego and the right person recognized his incredible talent and licensed his song.

No matter the project, Dustin's creativity, drive and innovative spirit saturate every note.   On this episode of the Underdog Empowerment podcast, Dustin and Zach get into the birth of Zayde Wolf, the key to making good money off the music you create, and how important life experiences translate into the hardest-hitting, most impactful music.

There are those who fought for every step, pulling themselves ahead of the pack and changing their corner of the industry forever.   Futuristic is a household name at this point.
