Pop Star Alexis Strum

from Making Creativity Pay Hosted by Dan Barnett

"Even though they took my songs, I still felt like a failure, and I did for the largest part of the last 10, 15 years. I felt like I failed at music" Alexis talks about her experiences as a singer/songwriter, comedian and actress, about going viral on TikTok and her resurgence as a pop star 20 years on. We talk about having songs she’s written being recorded by Kylie Minogue and Rachel Stevens, the impact being dropped by her record label had on her and her determination to make the most of the opportunity the second time around. We also discuss Social Media, online promotion and the psychological impact chasing clicks has on your state of mind.
