Radio Starmaker Funded Artists Round 76

Success Fact: Felix Cartal

Felix Cartal

I tweeted in November of 2019: “2020 is the year I take control of my live show. New risks. I'm terrified, but it is time. I've always had a bigger vision for how my songs should feel live and it honestly drives me crazy that I haven't pushed it as hard as I know I'm capable of. Speaking this into existence.”

With the arrival of Covid shortly after, I was only able to perform live sets digitally, but I used the time to hone my DJ skill set and begin developing ideas for how my shows would look once back. The funding from Starmaker helped me keep performing virtually, create an entirely new visual identity for LED wall content and lighting design, and hire touring staff that are now bringing this vision to life at events.
