Adria Arjona (Andor, Splitsville, Los Frikis) Pivots into Producing

Kicking off the new season with the spirited Adria Arjona for what was, incredibly, her first solo podcast ever. As someone whose face is literally all over billboards outside my place, I found this fact both shocking and oddly kismet. So, it’s a special treat to share this unexpected and refreshing punk rock side of her with you all. Adria is an actor most known for her roles in Andor, Hit Man, Blink Twice, Los Frikis, and the upcoming Splitsville. She is a dynamic, perceptive citizen of the world with a penchant for doing "bad things." And I mean that in the best possible way. She's the kind of person who makes you immediately start plotting how to become her best friend. Born in Puerto Rico, half Guatemalan, raised in Mexico, and shaped by a nomadic childhood following her father Ricardo Arjona on tour – one of the best-selling Latin American artists of all time – Adria learned early that home isn't a place, it's found in people and rituals. A lesson that serves her well in an industry that keeps her constantly moving between London, LA, and everywhere in between. There are SO many gems here, but a few that really stayed with me is how selling merch on her dad's tours taught her the art of hustling, what she learned from a career-changing audition failure, and how why she found herself on top of a table spraying guests with Champagne at Cannes Splitsville premiere afterparty. 0:36 Journey to Stardom 3:19 Cultural Identity 5:00 Finding Home 7:18 Moving to America 10:24 Selling Merch on Tour 12:05 Transitioning to Producing 13:07 Playing Ashley in Splitsville 16:43 Acting & Producing in "Los Frikis" 17:57 The Importance of Story 38:56 Perserverance 39:17 The Tale of Lolita Lebron 41:30 The Martini Round 43:16 Learning and Growth 47:55 SNL50 & Jason Momoa AOP SUBSTACK 📫 Musings, Mixers, Workshops, and Exclusive Content https://angleonproducers.substack.com/ JOIN AOP PATREON   / angleonproducers   LISTEN TO THE SHOW Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2XwATdT iTunes: https://apple.co/3FDyhmC JOIN THE AOP COMMUNITY 📸 Instagram: /   / carolinagroppa   |   / angleonproducers   📱 TikTok: /   / carolina_groppa   👩🏻‍💻 LinkedIn: / bit.ly/2BqHs8L QUESTIONS ❔Answering your questions on Tuesdays in our newsletter!
