I emailed her. This is what I said👇

Hi,
I recently saw your unfortunate situation with your management company; my condolences.
May I recommend you share your music on an open social protocol, Nostr (this is where I found out about your situation!).
This is a protocol where you are in control of your own posts, and can change which app you use at anytime, while retaining all of your followers, posts and content (its pretty amazing!) Many of us zap (send tiny amounts of money) the content creators, in appreciation of their work, also called #V4V (Value for Value).
No one single person/company owns Nostr; its a free and open community for all to come and go as one sees fit.
If on iPhone, try out Damus, my personal favorite (in the app store)
To receive funds, you can get a Lightning@Address with the Wallet of Satoshi app, to get started (also on the app store).
Once you are on Nostr, we can help you with any questions you need. Hashtags are powerful, use #asknostr for any questions you may have.
A good first post goes something like this;

"Hi! I'm new to nostr. I'm a musician. @SUPERMAX and others emailed me to try out this Nostr thing. Thanks for the warm welcome and help. What should I do next? [Share your story here] #introductions #asknostr"

I had no intention, had no clue who she was, just wanted to get more plebs on Nostr
I've had this song on repeat all day. Absolute 🔥
Give it a listen upu won't be disappointed
Esperemos que llegue a nostr ahora
SÃ, sÃ, los ciento mil sats son suyos cuando llegue aquÃ
I know Iyah personally. I went to school with her. I've asked her directly to join.
As soon as Bitcoin was mentioned she switched off. She's of the opinion crypto had hurt to many people.
Not sure how to persuade her now.
I saw (would like to verify if true) she's launching her own crypto token now, karmageddon coin, so maybe she changed her mind on crypto hurting people
Share with her that Nostr has zero Bitcoin components to it, you can choose to add a Bitcoin Lightning@address to your profile (like you & I have), but its not required
Many folks just post here to exercise their free speech, and we can't zap them. Which is OK
Lastly, the more platforms she's on, the better
I did tell her this.
Is there a way you could take a moment, and actually show her your Nostr profile? In person and show her how it works; similar to twitter but you actually hold ownership of your notes?
Unfortunately not, she lives in another city.
Looks like you zapped yourself lol all good, next time make sure you're on the other persons note (in this case mine) then hit the âš¡ icon
we're here to help you with any questions you may have
How far away? Only been to Australia once, down the whole east coast (Cairns to Sydney). We have many Nostriches there as well.
I'm not at all trying to be crazy/creep, would you be willing to travel and show her? Many of us will zap you to cover travel expenses.
Big ask I know you can say no, do not at all feel pressured.
haha yes, I'm still getting used to this app myself. 😅
I've only been a peruser for the past few months.
Only now have I had a reason to speak out.
Unfortunately, I wouldn't feel comfortable getting myself as involved as your reqy
request.
All good I understand. Hopefully we can find a proper way to get more folks like her to Nostr!
