A week in my life as an independent artist / creator / record label owner VLOG

I wanted to share an average week in my life as an independent artist BUT it went slightly off track because I got a new puppy!!

I’ve been experiencing stress and burnout recently, which exacerbates the usual crises of confidence that we all experience, so this video is an exercise in keeping going and getting over the finish line.

So, join me behind the scenes of my creative business as a self-employed musician, artist and video maker creating things in my home studio and making direct connections with excellent humans via the internet.

Thanks for being one of them!

🎶 Welcome to my channel! 🎶

Hi! I'm Laura aka Penfriend - a solo artist, music producer, songwriter, filmmaker and podcaster living in Bristol, UK.

My channel is all about encouraging your creative journey through sharing my own, and whether you want to make your own stuff or just want to see how I make mine, you're very welcome here.

➡️ I’ve been making music for more than 25 years and running my own independent label since 2009. I've learned so much about the music industry, songwriting, productivity and general creativity that I'm excited to share with you on this channel.

I share weekly videos on the creative process, personal development, and building a creative career outside of the old structures.
