BETTING ON YOUR VISION with Troi “Elektrik Kid” Durden

What happens when you can see the vision before the world can see it?

On this episode of Conversations with Coach LA, Coach LA sits down with artist, producer, and creative visionary Troi “Elektrik Kid” Durden for an Artist Spotlight centered on creativity, identity, mental health, perseverance, and the courage it takes to BET on SELF™.

Troi takes us beyond the music to explore the person behind the artistry. Together, they unpack the emotional side of pursuing a creative vision—the rejection, reinvention, self-doubt, discipline, and determination that often happen long before the applause arrives.

And because this is the virtual couch, Coach LA brings the Therapy Tea 🍵, asking the signature question: “What does therapy mean to you?” The conversation explores whether creativity can be healing, the difference between expressing pain and actually processing it, and why artists must learn to protect the person carrying the gift—not just the gift itself.

Troi also shares his BET on SELF™ Moment, the experiences that shaped Elektrik Kid, and what he believes is possible in the next chapter of his creative journey.

This episode asks one powerful question: What are you willing to believe about your vision before you have the validation to prove it?
