faq

Your social media strategy is something that you and I would work on together. We'll talk about your vision, look at your meta insights, and create a simple plan that's easy to execute.
-
Yes! As an independent artist myself, I am SO passionate about helping people get their music out there! There's lots of good tools out there, sometimes you just need someone to point you in the right direction or to sit in the room with you while you hit the buttons.
-
I'm here to listen to your song and answer any pointed questions you may have, such as, "What do you think of this guitar solo?" And/or I am happy to give input, such as, "You should add a guitar solo here that sounds like lalala." :)
-
It really just depends on what kind of project you're working on! I'll be upfront with you every single time and let you know how much time I think we'll need. Your hands are on the wheel though and you get to dictate the amount of time!
-
You might already have a whole song rollout planned and just wanted another pair of eyes on it. Maybe you want help finding the right photographer. Or you don't watch Tik Tok, at all, and need someone to help you figure out what kinds of videos might make sense for you to post. There's lots of forms that consulting can take shape. I'm here to be on your team!

wildfire
sat down with joey ramirez from of the land for this one. i came with "it's all beautiful right here" to the session and we were both able to pull from experiences that felt related to that almost instantly.

still
sweet chloë came over and let me use her as a guinea pig when i was first getting started with working with artists! this is a pretty good example of what a basic guitar + vocals demo would sound like coming out of a writing session together.

the kingdom
the first friend toever let me produce a simple recording for them! this helped me figure out how to record simple demos. i somehow convinced christina to let me record her playing her guitar in my brother's smelly room. she used the recording to raise funds for a new adventure of hers. what a blast!

quotes
“Lily is absolutely wonderful to work with. She is professional, timely, and encouraging, and she truly delivers on the work she promises. She effectively transforms your ideas into tangible products both by bringing your original vision to light and by making her own suggestions when relevant. From videography to photography to audio engineering, I have always had extremely positive and affirming experiences working with Lily and would recommend her to any artist or creative!”
“Lily provides the perfect balance of both professionalism and relatability. Her great work speaks for itself, but behind the scenes she does a great job on the prep side (understanding a client’s vision) and on the delivery side (prompt delivery, clear terms, easy to use formats of material). Plan to work with her again!”
“Booked Lily for my client’s show after seeing her amazing portfolio online. She is super easy to work with, very communicative, and down for anything. Myself and my client were extremely happy with the results and turnaround time. We loved all the photos and videos that she captured! 100% would work with her again.”
“Working with Lily helped me see my quilts in an entirely different light that I didn’t know was possible. She understood my vision, made the process easy, and allowed me to be proud of myself, my business...before the photoshoot was even finished! Her insight and compassion for people lets her see into a deeper level of art and the message of each person who works with her. I cannot wait to work with her again and maybe learn even more about myself.”
Events I've Organized
Love & Life Benefit Concert
For three years (2010, 2011, and 2012) in a row I organized a talent show specifically for those in the the visual and music arts. We raised funds at each one for the Children's Impact Network, specifically for their orphanage in Bolivia.
My own tour/shows
I have been touring around the country on my own for about 15 years. This means organizing my schedule, flights, accommodations, ticket sales, merch, and venue bookings.
Fundraiser for Christina Webb
In 2018 I organized a concert for Christina Webb where there were 3 artists (including herself) that performed.
