2013 Artists Speak to Artists: Julia Nunes

Unsigned singer/songwriter Julia Nunes, who's had 50M YouTube plays and raised $77.000 on Kickstarter, opens midem 2013's Artists Speak to Artists programme on Saturday 26th of January 2013. Ask her your burning questions about viral video, crowdfunding ... and ukulele.

Before starting a tour across USA, Julia answered three questions for midem :

What is direct-to-fan?

Making a connection with actual people. It can mean sharing personal stuff on-line, or staying after the show to meet everyone who came to see you.

What is the key to a successful crowdfunding campaign?

I just offered things that I would want from my favorite musicians/bands. Don't treat it like a charity event, it's not about begging for money, it's an opportunity to be a part of a project. I tried to honor my kickstarter backers by including their names in the liner notes.

Why midem?

Musicians, artists and creators alike come together from all over the world. It's an opportunity to connect and inspire each other.
