Refolkus

In this episode we chat with Luisa González, a music industry professional and booking agent with a background in film.
Luisa shares practical advice for emerging artists on building an authentic brand, developing a strong visual aesthetic, creating compelling content on a budget, and building a professional online presence. We also explore how to approach networking and follow-ups at industry events and conferences, while balancing authenticity with the expectations of the music industry.
