I’m Nadja Sayej — journalist, author, podcast host, and the founder of ArtStars Academy, the school for artists who want press, money, and momentum.
For 18 years, I’ve interviewed over 1,000 celebrities and cultural figures for Forbes, The New York Times, The Guardian, Vanity Fair, Architectural Digest, Observer, and Gallery Magazine. I’ve covered red carpets, film festivals, and art biennales on three continents — and written eight books about what I saw there.
Now I teach artists what took me two decades to learn: how to get press without begging for it, how to price and sell your work, and how to build a creative career that actually pays. No gatekeeping. No fluff.
I live in Austin, Texas, where I run ArtStars Academy and host the ArtStars* Podcast.
