About me
Welcome to my little free space about music!
My name is Laura and I live in the north-west of Italy. I
always had a great passion for music (thanks to my mum who listened to
it even when she was pregnant of me!), so it's not surprising that I'm incredibly interested in finding new music to listen to! Check out my interviews with Indie Music Center and "Song Surfing Podcast" or watch the introduction video on my YouTube to discover more about me!
On this blog I post my very special interviews with indie musicians, new voices that struggle to be heard in the chaos of music industry and I'm sure you will find your next favourite songwriter among them!
Thanks to Instagram, I had the opportunity to get in touch with many indie musicians, especially from US and then from Europe, Asia and Australia and I started to be very curious about their songwriting process and their lives as musicians. I realized that often their music is better than "famous" or "commercial" music. If a musician writes a song that has the power to make me feel an emotion, that musician deserves to be supported. We never think about all the work that musicians put in their songs, so I thought: why don't I start to showcase them in the best possible way to give them some exposure and maybe help them find more listeners, as they deserve? And that's how the Laura Meets Musicians project started!
How I support indie musicians from all over the world
I'm sure you're thinking "Does she just interview musicians? Pfff, tons of blogs do that!" Well, I try to support indie musicians in more than one way and my coverage goes through multiple platforms!
- Posts on this blog about indie musicians will showcase everything they want to say about their music and not only! It is like me and them sitting in front a glass of wine and chatting about them, their music, their story and the messages they'd like to spread in the world! You will discover everything about their songwriting process, their point of view about life and music industry issues!
- Written interview on my Instagram account @laurameetsmusicians
covers 3 posts dedicated to each musicians so to expose them for an
entire line of my profile! I add daily shout outs in the stories about
upcoming projects, pre-save links, new music out and so much more!

More about my Instagram Page
In September 2020 I started to
discover a community of indie musicians based in New York City thanks
to Instagram. It was the first time that I could talk directly with the
songwriters, sending them my thoughts about their songs, asking
questions and even becoming friends! Since then I also started to draw
musicians portraits on my drawing account @enchanted.marvel (I
would love if you'll follow me also there!) and day by day indie
musicians have become my second family. I really love that community, so
I started looking for the way I could support it more.
In April 2021
I opened the Instagram account @laurameetsmusicians
where musicians
have a space to freely
present themselves not only as musician but also as person. It suddenly
had a lot of success and I continue to receive tons of requests of
feature! I invite you to follow both my accounts and if you'd like to let
me know what you think about what I'm doing, just shoot me a DM there or
send me an e-mail, I would love to!
