Side hustlesare becoming more prominent as the normal linear and siloed career path has almost become a thing of the past, with many finding ways to monetize and prioritize hobbies and interests outside of their standard profession.
Just ask CEO ofGoldman SachsDavid Solomon, who'sturned his passion and hobbyfor DJ-ing into a full blown separate gig that's gotten so big he's managed to get his name in festival and concert lineups among some of the biggest names in music.
Lollapalooza, Chicago's famed music festival that takes place each summer,dropped its lineupthis week and announced that Solomon (who goes by the stage name of D-Sol) will be joining the roster of musical acts for the festival that is set to take place from July 28 to 31.

CNNreported thata spokesperson for Goldman Sachs confirmed the news.
"I thought for a minute, 'Well, can I do this? Can I not do this?'" SolomontoldFortune在一个interviewback in 2019 about beginning hisDJ-ingcareer. "You know what, it's who I am, and nobody would tell me not to play golf. And why shouldn't I — because I'm a CEO?"
Solomon launchedPayback Recordsin 2018, where all proceeds go to non-profit organizations aimed at working on the addiction crisis in the U.S. He is currently the only artist listed to the label.
Lollapalooza will be the second festival that Solomon has spun at, though it will be the first multi-day one of its scale.
In July 2020, he performed at a one-day, drive-in festival event in the Hamptons (Water Mill) headlined by the Chainsmokers, whichdrew criticismfrom then-governor of New York Andrew Cuomo for violating pandemic protocol.
