#026: Why pop isn't thriving in small scenes | Giorgia Bortoli (Pop in the Pool)
from Sound Advice- The Music Industry Podcast · host Olly Carter
Pop is the most popular music genre (it's in the name) but its one of the hardest to find in small independent music scenes like Liverpool. Why is that? To find out, I spoke to Pop in the Pool founder Giorgia Bortoli, who's trying to change just that. We spoke about why Pop is perceived as less authentic, how she performs with backing tracks, dealing with anti-pop bias from promoters and how she's building her own Pop music community in Liverpool by putting on her own gigs. 🔗 POP IN THE POOL: 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/popinthepool/ 🎵 Apply to Play: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdvkP2f3bNlEaUMDyOavixAoCXZO9GjPGqYw7K0DwRDcMpVng/viewform 🔗 JOIN OUR COMMUNITY OF ARTISTS: www.instagram.com/soundadvicepod/ 🙏 LEAVE A REVIEW If you enjoyed the podcast, we'd love for you to leave a 5-star review wherever you listen to help others discover the show :)
