Wow! What a Launch!

21/05/2025

Your reaction to our launch, dear readers, was so enthusiastic that our homepage crashed. In an instant, almost a hundred of you subscribed to our newsletter and we took it as a call to action and set up our first workshop straight away! It will come on a very short notice so make sure to sign up soon. We still have a few places left.

Pay what you can!

Since the main point of organizing Kuohu Events is to help you find your audience and the income to keep on working, so we know that there are people out there right now that don't have the money to join events like this. For that reason we have added the possibility to apply to the event with "pay what you can". We believe in equity. The ones that need more help, should get more help. This is the path to equality. We hope to see you there!

Kuohu Workshop nr. 1

We believe that the number one thing we independent artists need help for is sales. We are great at creating music, but sending emails and thinking business is often not a part of our repertoire. However, we need gigs, sponsors, sales skills and collaborations to be able to continue making our art. So, we want to make it all easier.

We are excited to open applications for the first ever Kuohu Workshop with Ulla Varis as our expert! She's the booking agent (B2B) and equality officer of All Day Entertainment as well as the team leader of their sales team. In the Kuohu Workshop, Varis will talk about booking gigs, live shows and partnerships. We offer you the opportunity to ask questions in advance, during the workshop and even afterwards! Let us know what you need. We're here to serve you.

Get Shit Done!

Couple of days later there will be a Get Shit Done -laptop gathering where you can come with your own laptop to get those emails written! Get Shit Done is a communal event where we will first discuss what we are planning to do, after which everyone quiets down to their own laptops to work. You will receive moral support and encouragement from colleagues and perhaps a good tip or two. You will also be accountable for results, which will motivate you to complete even the more challenging tasks! Workshop participants will have priority access to the Get Shit Done event.

Kuohu Workshop Chat

To top it all off, we will set up a voluntary Whatsapp group for all Kuohu Workshop participants, through which we can help and support each other and become even stronger!

Here are some more details
