POPup MEETup
Artist Identity
Your music bears your signature – but what really makes you unmistakable is yourself. Especially in the age of AI, your personality makes the biggest, the decisive difference.
And that’s where the most exciting question of all begins:
How does the person we see on a stage actually come about?
What of that is “you” – and what only comes about in the audience’s head?
How much closeness is good? How much distance is necessary?
And how do you find a form that feels honest and harmonious?
This lecture with subsequent Q&A is about what happens between people and music: about identity, external image, impact. About the stories we tell – and the ones we don’t even notice. About self-image and public image. About the question of how to become visible without losing yourself.
You will get new perspectives on topics such as authenticity, persona and artistic presence. In addition, real examples from musical practice and thoughts that may surprise you.
It’s not about perfection. It’s about finding out who you are and how you want to come across.
If you are clear about that for yourself, you can communicate consciously and harmoniously.
