Hi, everyone. My name is Kalisha. I've been working in the music business for basically my entire life. I got my start being extremely online, running a One Direction fan account, and now I have experience working at various record labels like Epic Records and Interscope Records, leading digital strategies for some of your favorite artists. I need to breathe.
Yeah, I mean, day one of my first time or first day working in the music business, I got thrown into a Travis Scott project, which was insane. So my first day on the job, I was thrown into Jack Boys. We were going to release in like a couple of weeks and we did a really cool activation for that.
I spent the last year working on Lana Del Rey's Ocean Boulevard, which was we met or actually went through John.
Batiste who is also another artist that I got to work on world music radio was awesome and yeah those are probably like top three great I didn't mention this in my intro but I'm now leading artist partnerships at SoundCloud so yeah it's fun getting to work at the intersection of music and tech not to sound like that guy but you know
Totally. I love how you've broken it down here. I mean, I don't really think about it in almost this like chart perspective, but I do look at it almost like, I guess the, the visual in my brain is almost like, like a Roblox or like Minecraft world. Yeah. Like a fake world, right?
Where it's like, okay, I'm walking through this. Like if an artist had like, like a Neopets world almost like Neopets, like when you're going to, you know, the gift shop or whatever, like what does each world look like if you're going to walk through it? And I've been thinking about this, like even before these.
Yeah.
Who greets you when you like land in the land?
Yeah. One of my favorite quotes is context is important, but not everyone deserves it.
I think Alana does that really well.
She's telling you a lot without telling you anything versus some other artists who are really like world building and like throwing everything almost in your face.
So I think why can be told in many different ways, whether it's like poetry and you're dying to dive in and like learn every bit. Like, who is this about? Like, let's track down the, you know, timelines of, you know, the whole Stan behavior of like figuring things out versus like, oh, I'm going to tell you that this is what happened to me.
Love this girl.
You can't or you can?
Okay.
I mean, I think like with how it's showing up online, there's, I would argue there's a lot of people who like listen that don't care because of the fact that it's just like, it's like an earworm kinda, but subconsciously you're like downloading her entire story.
Not everyone's a freak.
I want to say like it was timing for her specifically in terms of like what distribution channels were available at the time. But if you think about who like has referenced her, right? If you talk about like Lana's daughters in the music business, like Billie, Nessa Barrett, Madison Beer, for example. Yeah.
All of them are kind of taking a play in her book while saying like, okay, we're going to show this through visuals. We're going to show this through having like really public breakups. We're going to show this through whatever it is that we're going through. You're kind of going to know about it, but we're not going to give you everything.
And I'm trying to think, um, like we might have to get this out, but something Lana did tell me once when we're talking about world building for her and like when she shot down ideas of mine, she said, it's not for everyone. Point blank period.
