Julia Weldon is a Brooklyn indie-folk-pop artist who was on the verge of starting her next album, Comatose Hope, but instead found herself awaking from a coma after a gender-affirming surgery. One year later and after a fortunate recovery, she’s got more than enough tales to tell and songs to sing.
What’s your favorite social media platform for interacting with your fans and finding new audiences to connect with?
I’d say I still like Facebook for longer post and announcements but I LOVE Instagram. It’s what fans really wanna see: my personal life! Instagram stories are genius—by taking this fan connection and intimate look to the next level. I post much crazier shit on my story because it’s fleeting!
How do you put out new music?
I release new music videos through YouTube, but for the actual music release I go through CDBaby, who then partners with legit––all the major digital distributors. Spotify has been amazing for exposure to fans across the globe but generates virtually no income. iTunes and Apple Music and direct sales after shows are the only real CD sales I make. •
