Reply to When trying to establish your name, should you take requests?

Hey all,
Having an argument with a friend about marketing yourself to try to get a bigger fanbase. We both started out as doing requests in small town bars in western New York (no edm scene all), and he has pretty much now dissed me because I've been doing live shows on mixify and haven't pushed any productions out because I am not happy with the quality of the tracks. He on the other hand feels like the only way to "make it big" is playing any type of show possible, taking and playing everyone's request (no matter what genre, rock, hip hop, pop edm), pump out as much music with your name on it to flood the market. Keeping the debate away from quality or quantity, I was just trying to make a point that if you continue to take any possible show and you get your name out by playing all the requests, that is what you will be known for. I was just wondering how everyone feels about this, am I in the wrong, is he or both or neither. Let me know what you all believe.

Thanks,
