Up North Panel: Vind & Vertel Jouw Unieke Verhaal als Artiest

Every artist has a unique story — but how do you find it? And how do you share that story in a way that fits you and your audience? How do you deal with the mental pressure, doubt, and vulnerability that come with it? During this panel, Melanie Esther (Artist Branding and Social Media Coach) talks with artists Katie Koss and Dashaeno, who have found and learned to share their own stories — including the obstacles, breakthroughs, and inner dialogues along the way. Katja Keersmaekers will also join the conversation, sharing her knowledge and experience as a psychosocial counselor and trainer within the music industry. Expect honest insights, practical tools, and relatable stories about finding and telling your unique story as an artist. Whether you’re just starting out or have been making music for years, this panel will help you share your story with the world with greater confidence, clarity, and resilience.
