My conversation partner this week is Laurence Warner, aka 'Cerulean'. In Laurence's own words: I'm Cerulean, an independent Performing Artist, born Laurence Warner in Eastleigh, a small town on England's South Coast. I make pop music for your ears AND your brain (and sometimes even your funny bone too)! I'm proudly #SavvyIndie, but I love to collaborate with creatives across The Arts & Tech to put on a show. Find Laurence at: https://wa.rner.me
We talked about:
- Laurence’s music-making process
- Making money from your art
- Is Laurence an extrovert or an ambivert? / Myers-Briggs chat
- The “organic” journey of the indie artist
- Why Laurence makes music, and the magic of “sonic experiences” (music) vs verbal (words)
- Who is Cerulean? (aka Laurence’s artist name)
- Using the internet to share your authentic expression with other people… but balancing this with using tech in an intentional way
- Laurence’s advice for indie musicians promoting their work
- The joy of being an ‘independent artist’ vs going ‘traditional’
- SavvyIndie: Laurence’s plans for this community for independent musicians / music artists
