From HOMELESS to HEADLINER - The Story of LSDREAM (Formerly Brillz)

- This video documents the incredible story of Sami Diament on his lifelong journey to becoming LSDREAM. He immersed himself in music from an early age and developed a dream to make a life out of it. He held onto that dream tightly and never let go, even through the most difficult of adversities. After multiple failed music projects he finally got what he had been chasing for so long when his trap music project Brillz caught fire. But over time he felt that he had strayed from his source inspirations for the project. He took a massive leap of faith and scrapped the project entirely, walking away from hundreds of thousands of dollars. He created LSDREAM, which envelops the true nature of himself to the fullest extent, but he had to build it from the ground up once again. His unrelenting self belief paid off, as LSDREAM is his most successful project ever, while simultaneously sitting in alignment with his soul.

Let me know your favorite LSDREAM track! Mine is probably a tie between Psychedelic and High Vibrations
I AM BASS!
White Magic, especially the current VIP
peace love & wubz
Expand the Universe is soooo good. It's super hard to pick a favorite. It's sort of a package deal with Eternal Now tbh.
Spaceship, High Vibrations, Moon Legs, Cotton Candy Sky come on... 😁
Higher Consciousness Downtempo Set is epic. czcams.com/video/u1bAFRqh37o/video.html
I have been digging RAD, but man there are quite a few i VIBE with
When Sami posted that instagram live, it changed my life. I started a gratitude journal. I committed to it for 30 days. 1.5 years later. My life is completely different. My marriage is transforming. My career is flowing. I'm stepping into more authenticity. To say I'm grateful for him is a deep understatement. A massive, deep bow of gratitude and thankfulness Sami 🙏
Hell yeah! I also started making gratitude lists after I saw it and it's insane how fast things start to change when you're mindful of all the great things in your life. Sami is seriously helping so many people with his platform, I hope LSDREAM keeps getting bigger and bigger.
I've been a big fan of LSDREAM the past several years - was blown away to see him headlining Lost Lands and his astronomic growth. My wife and I have been wondering about his backstory, thank you for this video. Well done, mate. Excited to attend RAVE in a couple weeks.
That lost lands set tho………
He was so amazing at LL I saw him this and last year there
Man I look back at that lost lands set with so much joy on a weekly basis
I had no idea he was part of Liquid Pop Collective… that’s awesome. As an old school raver and liquid dancer this makes me smile!!! The LSDREAM project has meant so much to me! Just saw him Thanksgiving Eve here in Atlanta.
👊😏Ole headz
Whoa ! Mind blown right now.
This was incredible man. I love Sami's music so much and it's been there for me through a lot of hard times. It's hard to put an artist on a pedestal nowadays but I feel like at LSDream truly is a good person and somebody that we should all strive to be like🙏
Agreed! I already loved his music but making this video made me gain even more respect for him. I appreciate how much he cares about being a positive role model for everyone in the scene.
Legend
Cool to see you here!
I have no idea how I randomly found him on sound cloud like 4 years ago but he made those sunrise/sunset hour thirty minute drives to work enjoyable has easily become part of my top 5 djs. Good video bro
I saw LSDREAM for the first time at Bass Canyon 2022. It was an unforgettable experience-he had me and all my friends in tears. You can really feel the energy he puts out there for everyone.
These videos are AWESOME! Thank you, and keep them coming!
Thank you for this! Seen him 3 times and have loved every show. He’s such a unique and loving dj full of deep wubs as well as a great message 🙏
What an inspiration, I hope he sees this. You did a great job man, I’m in tears.
Great job on this video, we’re all so lucky to exist at the same time as these beings. His music and just his existence has gotten me through some tough rounds.
🙏
Really appreciate the video! Super well done and going on my saved list for the rest of time! 💙💜
Appreciate it!
Bruh...U can't deny this man's vibe❤️🔥✌️👽🚀
I myself Hav a similar dance/Rave back ground circa 90's🫶
What an amazing video. I had no idea he had gone through so much to get where he is now. I just saw him at Lost Lands and it was easily one of my favorite sets!
I bet that was sick! His sets are a lot of fun. And yeah he's probably one of the most deserving guys in the scene, he's been grinding for a long time.
The quality of this video is freaking amazing, from the editing to the narrative. You deserve so much more recognition for this. I’ve been a fan since his Brillz project but this deep dive into his life was so informative. Thanks for sharing this!! ☺️
Thank you so much!
Thanks for posting this video. He has such an amazing story and life. I just saw him for the first time live yesterday at his Radical Audio Visual Experience tour and it was phenomenal. He goes hard with the wubz and also brought us to a beautiful place of self reflection and loving those around us. Peace and love!!!
This was so interesting to watch! I’ve been a huge fan of LSDREAM for years. Didn’t get to see him live till last year. Easily one of my absolute favorite artists of all time!
Nicely done, my guy. Big props to you for putting this together and our boy Sammmiiii 🙌
Appreciate it!
love your videos, keep up the great work!!
Thank you so much! Thanks for all the support 🙏🏻
Awesome video my friend!
I know we don’t talk about the headliner anymore but it’s worth noting that the LSDream project formally debuted at the Los Angeles stop of the Ninja Nation tour in March 2018. He was billed as direct support under the Brillz name but started the set by announcing that Brillz was dead, and that he hoped we would enjoy this new evolution of his music and by god we loved it. Best set of the night.
That's crazy I didn't know that!
@@audioeatsyeah he’s probably one of 2 or 3 artists from that lineup that haven’t been cancelled lol it’s wild to look back at
Great video brother. Appreciate the work you put in. This was inspiring and fascinating to see the story of one of my favorite artist @lsdream much love God Bless
Crazy how fast you pumped this out. So cool!
Thank you! Glad you like it 🙏🏻
this video is so well done, idk how u only have like 700 subs, keep up the good work man
Thank you so much! This was definitely my favorite video to make
Beautiful video i gotta see his more meditative stuff
Excellent work! Always wondered about his story.
Thank you! 🙏🏻
You guys should seriously consider doing another one of these but updated to how he is currently. I think he would appreciate that very much, to be able to say more about his passions.
Thank you so much for all the research and deep dive into LSDREAM. I was always curious about his background and I do remember listnining to Brillz first when he dropped his Clarity remix then wondered what happened to him since. I went to one of his shows during the Peace Love & Wubz tour in San Francisco and he even stayed after the show to sign autographs, (I got my bucket hat signed!) despite security trying to escort everyone out. I'm going to see him at his Red Rocks show next week and I couldn't be more excited to experience it. Such an inspirational story and a message to everyone that has viewed this as a reminder to appreciate the small things in life. Never take a day for granted as we were brought here for a purpose, sometimes it takes a self-discovering journey to find it, so continue to unlock more of yourself.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Seeing him at red rocks is going to be insane, you should definitely wear the bucket hat! I saw him back when he was Brillz and he did the same thing, was one of my first shows ever and he stuck around to take pictures with everybody. Definitely a really genuine guy and I love how much the LSDREAM project is taking off, he deserves it.
that clarity remix was so fir,
Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for watching!
Love your channel! I've always been so curious about the history of these huge names in EDM and it's so hard to find such detailed info! Would love vids on marauda and seven lions (:
Nawtystep has a really good video on Maurada if you want to check that out! And I'm definitely down to do Seven Lions at some point
Great vid!
Thank you!
Yo.. incredible upload. I love this man so much what a fucking legend
Dreamrocks was my first Res rocks show and was truly one of the most amazing shows I’ve ever been to. He brought up Sarah at the end and you could feel the love radiate so hard.
The IG vid at the end on diet, gratitude, and meditation is fucking gold!!
Great video
Thank you!
Have so much love and respect for him his story is incredible! When I had the chance of meeting him very briefly he was humble and very kind. 🙏
You have incredibly quality content
Thank you so much!
Thank you
I love LSDream but god i had some really really great times at Brillz shows. Electric Forest 2016 was EPIC.
Brillz was crazy for sure! I only saw him as Brillz once at a club show, but I would have loved to catch a festival set. LSDream is on another level though, so I'm totally cool with the switch up.
Yo this shit is bonkers. I still have a bunch of those LPC videos burned on a CD from the early 00s. I swear I have seen that clip you showed hundreds of times and that is absolutely, undoubtedly Brillz now that you pointed it out. I remeber talking to LiquidPop Eric on some underground dancing forums a million years ago. This bit is blowing my mind right now with nostalgia and also stuff I had no idea about with brillz. Absolutely wild.
That's wild that you have the videos!
seen him in 2013 at 3d dream euphoria under Brillz, still one of the best shows i been to, the bass was so nuts i had to step outside a few times lol
One of my favorite songs from lsdream is Eternal Now, it was one of my first songs listening to him but after that I loved most of his music
I think that was the first or second LSDREAM song I ever heard, it was either that or Shadow Self
I was lucky enough to catch his sold out Red Rocks show this year. Easily the best show of 2023
Loved brillz and wondered were he went and had no idea he was LSDream until recently
Amazing content. You should make one on Svdden Death or the mystery of YVM3!
Thank you! I haven't heard of YVM3, I just googled them. If Svdden Death is in on it I'm definitely down to do a Svdden Death/VOYD/Masterhand/YVM3 video
@@audioeats Yvm3 is Somnium Sound
I had only found out about LSDREAM like 2 years ago. His music is top tier in every way so I instantly made a playlist after I heard just one song! I think it was Follow The Vibe, so you can see why. I read back when I had found him that his previous alias was Brillz, which is funny because I am fixing some CZcams playlists and saw that Bueller and Swoop both had him in it when he was Brillz (that then lead me here as I started looking things up). That surprised me, that 2 songs I've known about for many years had actually been worked on by Sami this whole time. I'm very behind on making playlists for producers, still need to make playlists for old school people let alone the newer people, and Brillz is very high up on that list. I really need to get around to it, as he is so talented.
Also, Ultraviolet Sound was actually pretty good. Makes me wish I was born sooner so I could of been around when these things actually released.
Ive just ended watching his entire red rocks performance. It was a very enjoyable and makes me proud of all the people on the path ho made it possible. All i knew about lsdream was his roots remix, talk to me i can recall that drop was sick at the time thanks to KTN i got into his music and time passed and i came across to a song "Lsdream - I am Bass" that gave me the same feeling and i was curious about ho made that song and yeap realized he was aka Brillz but there time his music was so much more about the vibe and more developed
Yeah LSDREAM is way better than Brillz, way more unique and instantly recognizable sound
YESSS i love the videos of eric from the liquid pop collective. That arcade video is fuckin iconic!
I didn't know about liquid pop collective until I made the video, but it blew my mind, their moves seem impossible lol
I love LSDREAM, but if you had the chance to ever see Brillz live you got a treat. I wish the TWONK team would make a resurgence.
Got to see him as Brillz in 2015! It was a fun show but I enjoy LSDREAM a lot more personally
I think its worth mentioning, lsd is a naturally occurring compound, it forms in the mold that grows in rye mold
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Liquid pop collective!!!!!! That's crazy!!!!!!!
Can you do one for clozee pleaseeee
I definitely will at some point! I posted an interview with her first manager a few weeks ago if you want to check that out (most of it isn't about Clozee, but he does talk about how he discovered her and her first tour etc)
Wuuuut he was Brillz? I had no idea! I could always tell he was an old school DJ
holy shit!! Lsdream is brillz? Lol no wonder he's so dope! That twonk and twerk shit he used to make was absolutely bonkers!!!
What song is playing at 12:25? Anyone? Thank you in advance!
It's a demo from splice
As a millennial- brillz was fuckin lit
Pls do a zeds dead vid
I'll definitely be doing that at some point!
Who woulda known that Sami was making bank selling Sham-Wow’s?! Of course he did
Such an absolute legend
i knew him a long long time ago when he was named ben grimm or something
Oh no way that's crazy! Was that one of his old band names or a name he went by as a producer?
@@audioeats nah when he was in da LPC
Ahh I gotcha
Damn. I liked LSDream. No more 🍉🍉🍉🍉
Love me some dream daddy
Is is so Tvboo😂
Was it India or was it Thailand lol
Lol. every musicians success story is 'homeless to headliner'. Dude is high af on cocaine at the end talking about food being poison.
When I met him as Brillz he was a dick, as LSDream he a sweetie.
