Who Am I?

Hello, fellow music-lover! This next “track” is all about me…

Intro: Personal Background and Values

I am Imola, a Certified Positive Psychology Coach.

A Hungarian, originally from Romania, I have been living in the UK for more than a decade. This led me to develop a cosmopolitan and rebellious view of the world, rooted in the belief that “we are all citizens of the same world” – with more that unites us than divides us.

In my teens, music, especially metal, helped me find a community that shared my rebellious spirit and taught me to embrace the messier side of life.

Raving, particularly drum and bass, provided a whole new perspective and transformative experience through a deep sense of connection with people, all seemingly being moved by the sound of the same unifying heartbeat.

All these life experiences brought me to the conclusion that ultimately, we are who we are because of the values we stand for. As long as we do not forget how our souls can move to the same rhythm, as long as we stay curious about the experiences of others and stay guided by a good faith in our shared humanity, we can overcome any barriers and support each other to flourish and grow.

This is what the raver and the rocker symbolise to me and this is what I stand for.

Verse: The story of StreetLevel ReDefined

I spent the early days of my career immersed in the exciting world of events management, artist bookings and liaison, and tour coordination. This means I understand the unique pressures of a fast-paced lifestyle in the industry.

This was also the time I launched StreetLevel in 2005 as StreetLevel Management. As the initial excitement gradually dissipated over the years into a rude awakening about the dark side of the industry, a redefinition was needed.

I thought about my true gifts and how I could best accomplish my goals; how I could help creators and fellow ravers and rockers at heart deliver on their life purpose in such a tough environment. That is when I discovered positive psychology and then got trained in its application.

This is how StreetLevel ReDefined was born in 2019 and I have been helping creators find, feel, and fuel their unique voice ever since.

Chorus: The Present

StreetLevel ReDefined is here to help you redefine your journey in a way that will allow your creative brilliance and true life purpose to emerge. It stands for a way of life that is not afraid to face the unknown, embrace the messy, new and the different, and integrate it all so your real, whole self can emerge and offer its unique contributions to the world. All of this while at the same time enjoying the ride.

Forging a career in music can often feel like being untethered from reality. It’s like swimming in a sea of uncertainty and self-doubt.

With the pressure to be always switched on and continually watched by others, operating in an environment where competition is constant, it can easily become overwhelming. But this is also the journey where we experience many of our best and most meaningful moments: it’s time to create a life that’s creative and grounded, purpose-driven and complete.

Outro: Looking toward the Future

My unique way of coaching focuses on you creating and maintaining a fulfilling creative practice.

We do this by finding your anchors that can keep you steady whatever the challenge, re-igniting that creative flame and redefining what it means to you to be a musician and a creator, all in the service of your overall well-being.

My mission is to help you flourish and become the best version of yourself, not only in talent and ambition but ultimately, in life.

It is my privilege to support you on your journey.

Some rave reviews

“A dear friend recommended Imola in a moment where I felt particularly lost and since the first meeting I knew I had met the right person: Imola is capable of guiding your reasoning whilst maintaining your interest at the forefront.

A patient listener, she passionately helped (and still helps) me with both personal and career-related matters, where I feel I have advanced tremendously in just over a year.”

“Before receiving coaching with Imola I was stuck in a rut and I felt I wasn’t getting what I wanted out of both work/music and my personal life. Imola has a positive and insightful approach to the issues that musicians and creatives face. She has a quirky and bold attitude in sessions which I really warmed to as she both challenges and considers my ideas whilst remaining neutral - without judgement. Her command of language when dealing with emotions that I would often shy away from helped me gain insight and improved both my well-being and output of music. I would recommend Imola in a heartbeat.”
