In this episode we are joined by Tecla Ciolfi. Tecla (better known as Texx) is a music journalist, founder & editor of Texx and the City, host of the wildly popular music podcast Texx Talks, chef, event producer, and diehard Arsenal fan (that's important!!!). Texx has been a pillar of the music industry in South Africa for well over the last decade, profiling and showcasing the brightest young stars, industry legends and underground talents on the scene. Behind the scenes she's had a hand in so many influential artists, comeups, shows and projects it's hard to encompass them all. From insights for creative journalists, podcasters and content creators looking to get started in the industry, to best practice for young musicians, artists and performers looking to get their work out, to working and podcasting with the biggest names in the industry, this episode is packed with wisdom, guidance and powerful anecdotes for anyone interested in music, events, journalism, or content creation! The purpose of this podcast is to share stories of the stories of people making a difference in the Cape Town and wider South African creative industries, whose work we love and want to share! Subscribe for more conversations with incredible people around their work, their motivations and inspirations, what they love, and the growth they hope to see in the future! We’ll also touch on some of the more challenging aspects of their journeys, with advice on how to navigate common/shared challenges and what they’ve learnt from those times.
