Claudia Gunn

Claudia Gunn is a media allrounder, as a songwriter and performer herself across dance music (Substax), indie folk (Humming Birde) and children’s genres (Claudia Robin Gunn), and a professional background in sponsorship, television promos and video production.

She now specialises in assisting artists making music for kids and families with their release plans, artist admin and overall media approach. A specialised genre but one with a huge potential audience worldwide and the most endearing and enthusiastic listeners!

Having navigated the past few years on a deep learning curve as a self managed artist, Claudia highly values community building and knowledge sharing as a way for independent artists to empower themselves and share the journey. She aspires to help artists raise the profile of their music and help their incredible work reach the listeners they serve.
