Louis Posen: The Mainstream is Overrated
Join Lou for an inspiring chat with Louis Posen, record producer and founder of Hopeless Records. Louis exposes his brilliant music brain with a personal dive into his world. Rare stories and perspectives explore the music community below the mainstream. He also talks about the balance between art, commerce, and how independent labels make a huge impact on the cultural zeitgeist. With more than 50% female artists, Hopeless Records diversity is greater than any other label in the alternative scene—a product of core principles that have existed since its founding. Hopeless Music Academy fosters a new wave of artists from Mexico. They’re proud to have artists like Blnko, Margaritas Podridas, and more. View their current roster below.
