Where I Found My Freedom: Behind the Decks with Adrian Dobbs aka AD The Kid | EP 15

What if the dance floor was your gateway to purpose… and freedom?

In this week’s episode of Becoming Unbound, I sit down with my longtime friend Adrian Dobbs — aka AD the Kid — for a powerful conversation about music, identity, and the courage to follow your own rhythm. Adrian is a Toronto-based DJ who has spent the last 20 years turning his passion for sound into a meaningful, purpose-driven life. From all-night sets at iconic venues like One Loft and Euphoria Festival, to the quiet moments of self-reflection behind the decks, Adrian shares how music became his vehicle for presence, self-expression, and freedom.

This episode is all about embracing what makes you different, honouring your craft, and trusting the beat of your own becoming.
