Founding Lauretta Records in 2020 from her living room floor, Katrina Frye seeks to create space for underestimated artists and musicians. A newly minted Black Independent Music Accelerator Fellow (A2IM), and by night an adjunct professor teaching Music Entrepreneurship & Music Marketing, Katrina is bringing together her ten years of music industry experience to engage indie artists in a sustainable way. Since graduating from Claremont Graduate University with her Masters in Arts Management Katrina has embarked on a new approach to “old traditions” in the music industry. By giving artists education and access to information, she believes empowered artists make our entire industry stronger.
