Who's live streams? Or has done so in the past? What tools do you like? Any tips for first-timers? I'm going to be starting a regular IG live stream inviting people to watch how my releases are made, assuming my van wifi works well enough 😬. I'd love to make things feel as unique to my framing as possible.

I've been researching the customer journeys of other music producers on IG. One of the biggest pieces that got me from the point of liking/following to regularly engaging and eventually supporting is that at some point these artists established enough trust and credibility that I no longer felt like a skeptic. One way they do this is through collaboration with other successful artists and engaging with each other's communities. Has anyone found a successful strategy for connecting/collaborating with other creators? Specifically when you've had less of your own following/credibility?
