Nicolle Dupas
Nicolle has been a musician her whole life, but it is the past 4 years of direct experience in an active, well-established, self-managed local band (“Strange Breed”) , and 2 years as a freelance grant writer and content creator; successful in procuring over 50k+ in funding for herself and others to date, that she really brings to the table. The perspective of an “artist helping other artists” is invaluable when it comes to development, representation and integrating artist narratives into grant proposals and content alike. Nicolle is not only experienced in the world of public funding, but also has a strong arsenal to pull from with staying on top of quickly changing trends in the industry (read: social media and streaming) and discovering the most authentic ways to gain traction as an artist (read: marketing tactics and audience engagement strategies).
