Weining Hung 洪維寧 founded LUCfest, a music showcase festival, in 2017 with KK Yeh 葉宛青 (White Wabbit Records). Taiwanese bands first played there before they went international, bands like Outlet Drift, The Fur, Go Go Machine Orchestra, Lücy, and Trout Fresh.

When Weining’s not managing the festival, she’s managing Asian talents like Phum Viphurit from Thailand. We talk about her love for music, the “it” factor for a superstar-to-be, and how the live music industry is changing post-COVID.

Weining’s advice for emerging musicians? “Get yourself a manager, a team. Then get yourself an agent, a publicist, some business managers. Organise your team. Then you have a possibility to grow.”
