Willow Stephens is an indie artist who’s making bold moves — from self-funding her music like a record label, to building a loyal audience on Twitch and going viral on Instagram. In this episode of They’re Good at That Sh*t, she shares how she took out a small business loan to fuel her music career while keeping her masters, opened for KT Tunstall in her hometown, and grew a true fan community online.
🎙️ We talk about:
- How to apply for artist-friendly business loans
- What it’s really like to go viral (and why reposting works)
- Using Twitch to build an active, supportive fanbase
- Treating music like a business without losing the heart
- Collaborating across genres and finding your true sound
This episode is packed with practical advice for independent artists who want to build a sustainable career on their own terms.
