Diplo is not the only artist to release music through Calm — dance music artist Kygo has also utilized the app to release music. With an app like Calm, artists are able to reach a wide range of audiences that could be new to their music.

Mental health awareness has been a topic that has been pushed to the surface for the past couple of years and emphasized heavily during the pandemic this year. Dance music artists and music festivals have been vocal about the issue and how important of a topic it is to be recognized. With the passing of Avicii in 2018, the dance community has never been the same. The bond between artists and fans seemed to have been pushed closer.

With the current environment, we are predicting that more artists will follow the footstep of Diplo and release music in the effort of bringing mental awareness to the surface. We will be following the issue closely and keeping you up to date.
