SXSW is Changing Forever in 2026: My 7-Year Journey Through The Festival's Golden Era

Описание: SXSW is changing forever in 2026! After 7 years attending this iconic festival, I'm sharing my complete journey from nervous first-timer to established performer. Watch as I take you through unforgettable moments including performing for Timbaland, showcasing my modified AI viewfinder at the tech exhibit, celebrating with a Tesla purchase, and adventuring through Austin with friends.

This vlog captures the evolution of SXSW during what might be considered its golden era (2017-2024) before major changes hit in 2026. The festival is cutting from 9 days to 7, dropping the second weekend entirely, and reconfiguring due to the Austin Convention Center's multi-year closure.

If you've ever wondered what SXSW is really like behind the scenes or how these upcoming changes will impact artists and attendees, this video gives you the inside perspective from someone who's lived it firsthand.
