How do you go from busking on the Seal Beach Pier to becoming one of the most talked-about artists in the Temecula music scene in just five months?
In this episode of SoCal Soundcheck, host Brian Jensen sits down with singer-songwriter Bella Popa to talk about her musical journey - from a musical-theater-inspired homeschooling childhood to building a social media following of over 35,000 and writing her debut album.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Growing up immersed in music and musical theater
- Teaching herself piano and guitar •
- Moving to Temecula and finding her place in the local music scene
- The realities of being a working musician
- The power of authenticity on social media
- Why song selection, stage volume, and dynamics matter at live gigs • Hosting open mic nights at Cougar Winery
