Neutralize Live was founded as a DIY project rooted in live music, art, and collaboration. It began with small, locally run events in South Florida. Shows organized and hosted by Stella Sofia at a young age, while also performing alongside the bands. Those early events were about learning by doing and building something with the people around her.

Today, Neutralize Live aims to host live events that extend beyond just bands on a stage. Our shows bring together musicians, visual artists, vendors, and creatives of all kinds. We connect bands with artists to create merchandise and help sell it through our platforms, with the money going directly back to the artists involved.

We also run a blog with partnered writers focused on local stories within the alternative art scene, covering people, bands, shows, and moments that often get overlooked, along with firsthand reflections from inside the community.

Advocacy and fundraising are a real part of what we do, not an afterthought. We use our events and platforms to support social causes, raise funds, and help amplify voices that don’t always get space elsewhere. Art and music aren’t just something to consume, they can be used to support real people and real issues.

At the core, Neutralize Live is about access, collaboration, and showing up for each other.

If you’re a musician, photographer, videographer, artist, vendor, or creative, reach out. We’re always looking to bring new people into our events and the community we’re building.
