This isn’t the first time Coletta has gotten a group of music enthusiasts together. In 2021, she organized a compilation album titled, Earbudz Vol. 1. It features artists from her roster at the time, covering other emo/indie acts. She also keeps a newsletter called, the no earbuds paper company, where she writes about her marketing tactics, what she’s listening to, plus other industry insider knowledge.
Coletta currently works with acts such as Origami Angel, Aaron West And The Roaring Twenties, and Microwave, plus a variety of others who are just starting their musical journey, and those who have already dug their feet into it.
