By: Gideon Gottfried Connor 'LUCID' HowardDoing what he lives (and works) for.Pollstar continues speaking to some of the many self-employed professionals forming the backbone of this industry, to see how they're coping. Next up is Connor Howard, a DJ and producer from Liverpool, who goes by the DJ name of LUCID. Howard's been out of work since March. As many self-employed, who are proud to have built a business that allows them to stand on their own two feet, he's been struggling with COVID-19 restrictions on in-person events that made him dependent on others. At the time we spoke, Howard was still hoping for some gig opportunities on boxing night and New Year's Eve, which are usually when the big parties happen.
