Creative people must be business people" | WHY AREN'T YOU FAMOUS? 01
ALLYSON BRIGGS, aka Fleur Seule, is a New York City-based singer, songwriter and performer. Her 1940s jazz band "brings the glamour and swinging sounds of the Golden Age of Hollywood to life." Listening to Allyson sing is a time portal to an era of romance, charisma, speakeasies, gin fizzes by the barrel, flapper dresses, fedoras and men fidgeting with matchbooks on train platforms.
Talking with Allyson was a rare chance to get the insights
of someone who has built a full life on the foundation of her dreams. She is
exceedingly modest about what she has achieved, but has managed to carve out a
successful career and original brand in the most competitive city in the world.
We talk a lot about the traditional definition of
"making it" and how that notion probably deserves an upgrade. Allyson
is honest and unsparing in telling the story of her journey and in imparting
her philosophies on music, modern society's relationship with it, her love of
bygone vocalists and the art of practice. Please reach out to her to let her
know what you think.
Why Aren't You Famous is an original series created by Human
Factor Media, a branded content company.
Each episode features an unflinchingly honest conversation
with a different artist across a range of disciplines, including writing,
acting, comedy, film, music, and the visual arts. This artist is typically
someone doing very well in his or field, but who has not yet
"crested" the top. "Why Aren't You Famous?" is therefore a
question as well as an exploration of what fame even means in our time and
whether it is truly the goal that matters.
