With Be Your Own Star's professional services, artists can learn to find their own voice within their passion and expand that into a profitable and meaningful music career.

Currently based in Munich, London, and Los Angeles, Christina Baur is well-connected with the global music scene and has experience working at all levels of the industry. She first got her foot in the door of the industry at just eighteen years old, interning at a German radio station. This is where she was introduced to artist liaising and realized her path for a music career. From there, she studied events and tourism management across Germany and the United States, organizing festivals and concerts, truly honing her passion for the touring side of the artist business. Christina then moved on to artist management, even touring with an artist before the pandemic put a halt on the live music industry.
Bonus track: Christina Baur answers questions
Every week, MusikWoche exclusively presents industry personalities in the "Bonustrack" section and asks them about their musical preferences and thoughts on the music industry. This week, Christina Baur, founder of the coaching and mentoring company Be Your Own Star and Artist Manager at the international agency MWO Management, has her say.
What's a good topic to argue with you about?
Music and, in particular, the diversity and development of genres.
What’s your most fruitful source of inspiration?
Traveling and attending concerts in different countries. It allows me to discover a wide range of musical styles and artistic expressions.
What are you willing to walk miles for?
I’m ready to go the extra mile to support female musicians on their journey to success. That’s one of the main reasons I founded Be Your Own Star.
1000 Streams on Spotify: Your Journey to Streaming Success
With a staggering 515 million active users worldwide at the dawn of 2023, Spotify is the undeniable powerhouse of music and podcast streaming.
And guess what? Those numbers are still skyrocketing!
My name is Christina Baur and I am an artist manager, musician coach, and mentor. Over the last years of my work experience, Spotify has gained more and more importance in the music industry. Many of the artists that I manage and coach are making a living off of Spotify and experience Spotify as a great source of passive income. But let's face it - it's very hard to get to the point where Spotify actually generates income for you as a musician.
Picture this: You've poured your heart and soul into your music, yet your streaming numbers struggle to hit four digits. It's a common tale, with a whopping 6.3 million artists (approximately 78.4% of the total artist population) on Spotify receiving fewer than 50 monthly listeners. Shocking, right?
