Meet Your Human
Steve Henao
(Pronounced "Hey Now")
I’m an artist and former music manager who knows how confusing music marketing can feel when you’re trying to do everything yourself.
I help indie artists get clear on their brand, content, release plans, and fan growth so they can stop guessing and start building with intention.
My work combines real music experience with AI-powered tools, but the process stays human-led, creative, and artist-first.
How It Works
What To Expect
Walk away with clear marketing direction and practical next steps you can actually use.
Artist Identity
Cultivate an artist identity people can recognize and remember. Define your story, personality, messaging, and visual direction behind your music - so your marketing feels cohesive and unmistakably you.
Artist Marketing Audit
We take a clear-eyed look at how your story, sound, visuals, messaging, and online presence come together—and give you a clearer direction for building a recognizable artist brand.
Content Planning
Stop wondering what to post. Start creating with purpose. Get the themes, ideas, and promotional strategy to create content that sounds like you and supports your music.

Content & Social Plan
Your personalized plan gives you a clear, realistic strategy for using social media to build visibility, connect with the right audience, and turn followers into real fans.
